activism aimed at reducing reliance on fossil fuels and promoting renewable energy sources has been a global trend. Many activists and organizations advocate for transitioning away from oil and gas extraction to address environmental concerns such as climate change and the impact of fossil fuels on the planet.

The Rosebank oil field is a large, untapped oil field located in the North Sea. If approved, it would produce an estimated 100 million barrels of oil over its lifetime. Just Stop Oil argues that approving Rosebank would be a climate catastrophe, as it would lock in emissions for decades to come.
The UK government has so far refused to halt new oil and gas licences. However, the decision on Rosebank has been delayed, and there is growing pressure on the government to reconsider.
Here are some of the arguments that Just Stop Oil is making against the Rosebank oil field:
The field is incompatible with the UK's climate targets. The UK has committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 78% by 2035, and approving Rosebank would make this target much harder to achieve.
The field would have a devastating impact on the environment. The North Sea is a fragile ecosystem, and drilling for oil in this area would damage marine life and habitats.
The field would be a waste of public money. The government would have to provide subsidies to make the field profitable, and these subsidies could be better spent on renewable energy projects.
Just Stop Oil is calling on the UK government to immediately halt all new oil and gas licences, and to invest in renewable energy instead. The group is also calling on people to take action, by signing petitions, protesting, and contacting their elected representatives.
