Monbiot blasts Burnham's North Sea oil plans as self-destructive

Monbiot criticizes Burnham's North Sea drilling decision as self-destructive

2 Sep 10 · 15d ago · 1 post · 1 source · development 2 of 2

Guardian columnist George Monbiot published an analysis questioning Andy Burnham's impending approval of further North Sea oil and gas drilling, arguing it amounts to political self-destruction with minimal material gains. Monbiot states the Jackdaw gasfield will generate only 27 direct full-time jobs and the Rosebank oilfield 450 UK-based jobs, while the green economy employs 300,000 directly with 400,000 more jobs planned.
