Just been chatting about Shell & Cambo on BBC Scotland radio. A few things:

1. The campaign isn't over! Shell pulling out of the project puts Cambo's future on the rocks, but we'll keep going until Cambo and ALL new fields are stopped by the government, for good. 2. We need to better distinguish between new projects and the oil & gas in existing fields.

There are 6.5 billion barrels of oil in the UK's 200+ open or approved fields. That's enough to see us through years of the energy transition - stopping new fields is not a rapid end.

We had a lot of scenarios for how Cambo would play out, but beating oil giant Shell out of the park wasn't even in there!

This is HUGE and entirely down to people power. The climate science has always been clear that there can be no new oil and gas fields if we're to limit warming to 1.5ºC, but today Shell have admitted there's no economic case either.

They also cited the 'potential for delays' - delays caused by the Stop Cambo campaign!
