The huge proposed oil field off the coast of Shetland is massively controversial with climate change activists.
Ex-Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams has signed a 250-strong petition of faith leaders and experts opposing the controversial Rosebank oil field off the Scottish coast.
Activists claim it would emit more carbon than the world’s 28 poorest nations combined. However, Norwegian oil giant Equinor which is behind the scheme insists it is vital for UK energy security. “The effects of climate change are now clear to us all - the intense rainfall and flooding we’ve recently had here and in Europe will only be made worse and become more frequent as long as we keep burning oil and gas. People who are being impacted up and down the country are asking why on earth we’re continuing to develop massive new oil projects like Rosebank, when we know it will only put us in more danger.
