“Carbon Cowboys” Chasing Emissions Offsets in the Amazon Keep Forest-Dwelling Communities in the Dark

Protestors carry a large banner on Sept. 16, 2023 during the March To Demand An End To Fossil Fuels. Extinction Rebellion organizers mentioned that thousands of people joined marches across the UK in September as part of the global days of action demanding that leaders rapidly phase out fossil fuels. The demonstrators will call out the government for seeking to ‘max out’ North Sea oil and gas reserves despite warnings that there can be no new drilling if the world is to stay within habitable climate limits. The UK government is giving out hundreds of new North Sea licenses and has voiced its support for the proposed development of the huge Rosebank oil field off the Scottish coast.
