BREAKING 🚨: The UK government has decided not to defend the case against Rosebank.

This is a massive win and a huge step towards stopping Rosebank for good. The government has realised that this huge new oil field cannot proceed without the full extent of the damage it will do to the climate being taken into account.

Burning Rosebank’s oil would produce more CO2 than all the world’s 28 lowest-income countries do in one year.

🚨BREAKING: New analysis has found that Equinor is set to receive a £3.75 billion tax break if Rosebank is approved.

Instead of supporting the millions of people in the UK struggling to survive, the UK is massively subsidising a new climate wrecking oil field.

#StopRosebank Thanks to an incredibly generous tax system for fossil fuel companies and the massive loophole for new oil & gas fields in the windfall tax, the UK government now effectively covers 91.4% of the cost of developing new oil & gas fields.

You read that right. More than 90%.

Right now the UK government is considering approval of @Equinor's Rosebank oil field.

If Rosebank goes ahead, it'll be a disaster for the climate and cost the UK taxpayer billions of pounds.

Here's why we have to stop this oil field...🧵
theguardian.com/environment/20… Just burning the oil & gas in existing fields will push us past the limits for a liveable climate.

Scientists have said time & time again (the last time was Monday) that we can't have any new oil & gas fields if we want to limit warming to 1.5C.

This means no Rosebank.

Tomorrow, Norwegian state-owned oil giant @Equinor is set to announce more profits than BP & Shell COMBINED.

We’re with @YCCNetwork for a vigil outside the Norwegian embassy, demanding the Norwegian government stop profiting off of climate-wrecking projects like Rosebank🕯️ The Norwegian govt, as majority owners, bear a huge responsibility over Equinor’s actions.

We’re asking Norway to think again about its support for Rosebank when we’re in the middle of not just a climate crisis but a cost of living crisis driven by burning fossil fuels.
