An enormous release of methane, highly potent greenhouse gas. Estimated at 130 tonnes, the equivalent in warming impact to the annual emissions from 2,300 cars. The UK's emissions reporting vastly underestimates this sort of venting. Time to take this seriously. 🙏 @drandrewboswell.bsky.social

More UK oil & gas won’t cut our bills or deliver energy security. It only protects the profits of fossil fuel giants. We have the chance to show we are serious about protecting communities and reject new oil and gas in the UK. Will you email your MP to help us? www.zerohour.uk/rosebank

Climate talks are about to start in Bonn and progress towards a fair transition away from fossil fuels is on the line. Email Ed Miliband calling for him to back a strong plan. foe.uk/vk4xq @friends-earth.bsky.social
