🚨 BREAKING: For the first time the UK Supreme Court has ruled a new oil drilling licence unlawful because the government IGNORED emissions from burning fossil fuels.⁠ ⁠ The landmark ruling FAVOURS a campaigner challenging plans to drill for oil in Surrey. This is a HUGE WIN.⁠ ⁠ Until now, the government has been getting away with only counting the emissions from extracting fossil fuels when approving new projects.⁠ ⁠ In reality the emissions caused by actually burning the fossil fuels is MUCH HIGHER than the emissions caused to extract them.⁠ ⁠ This has MASSIVE implications for future fossil fuel extraction projects like the enormous Rosebank oil field in the North Sea.⁠ ⁠ We now need a renewable energy plan focused on retraining affected workers into good, secure jobs in the renewables sector so everyone benefits and no one is left behind. ⁠ Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth intervened in the case because experts say new oil and gas must be left in the ground to have a chance of stopping climate breakdown. This ruling is an important step towards this!
