UK PM Andy Burnham should reject expansion at the Rosebank field because the UK has already used more than its fair share of the global carbon budget implied by the Paris climate deal struck 11 years ago.

That budget is implied by Paris’s 1.5c temperature-limit target.

Rejecting Rosebank would encourage emerging nations to transition away from fossil fuels, too.

Otherwise, the climate is fire-truck fucked.

The UK needs to move first because it moved first to adopt fossil fuel.

Burnham needs to stand up to Tory and Reform criticism because those two parties are obsessed by fossil fuels and they don’t care about humanity.

The Paris deal is UN law.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham is scheduled to address the COP31 summit on Thursday morning. The exact time of his speech has not been published in the current summit reporting.
