Green MP Caroline Lucas brilliantly challenged the Prime Minister in the House of Commons this week.
How could he look his daughter and other young people in the eye if he does not block the massive new Rosebank oil field ? she asked.
Not only will it increase carbon emissions and wreck climate targets, it will cost the taxpayer an obscene four billion pounds.
Caroline's bold intervention made headlines but it will not be easy to halt the development of Rosebank and other new oil and gas fields, given the power and connections of the fossil fuel industry.
Did you know you can help us by becoming a Friend of the Green Party?
Green Friends are a key part of our movement, giving a monthly contribution to support our work tackling climate change, and promoting a fairer and more liveable future for our children and future generations.
Friends are not party members and can continue to be politically unaffiliated or remain as members of other parties. But you will get regular updates on key campaigns, exclusive access to events and discounts, and opportunities to meet with Green leaders.
Because some things are more important than rosette colours.
