Boboil: 100% correct

Climate is measured in centuries/millenia...not 5 year periods.
I really can't for the life of me understand why individuals with no background whatsoever in this field, dispute the facts (and rationale behind what has caused these facts) that world leading EXPERTS in the field are presenting.
Its illogical.
Is it people are just too spoilt to change their behaviour, so try and justify that decision by coming out with reasoning that doesn't stand up to any kind of basic scrutiny?
Who knows...what we do know is our children and grandchildren have got huge hurdles to deal with on a number of global issues, with the consequences of climate change almost certainly being the biggest one.
We will be using oil for decades to come...we just need to use it far more efficiently than we do at present and move over as much of our energy need to renewables ASAP.

Nick: again...I agree in the main, but you've missed one rather important part of the equation ie. How much energy we use per capita. We are so spoilt and lazy - our waste of energy is scandalous. What we need to do is address the easy wins eg. Turn things off that aren't being used, smaller cars, less air travel etc etc

Phil: I agree with that, China need to be addressed, v hard when we have developed our economies to support our luxurious way of lives...to tell China/India etc they must do so in a restrained manner. Its all very complex...but the world HAS to do something.

by the way - the "weaning" process will take c.50 years...but it has to start asap. Why do you think the hard nosed CEOs of RDS/BP etc and virtually all the other super majors are moving away from oil?

No....the reality is the planet is warming - that is a scientific fact. Yes - it has always warmed and cooled....but NEVER has such a change happened so rapidly. The only thing up for debate is how much effect has man's use of the planet's resources had on this sudden rise.
This is basic stuff - there isn't ONE serious scientist on Earth who would dispute it.
We will need oil going forward - but need to wean ourselves off it asap.

Closed at...fking depressing.

H: "WHEN Sealion comes online"? If we knew for certain of the aforementioned...surely the sp would north of £1?

Gibs: yes it does....

Ovets: I agree with lots of what you post - but this "FI = strategic base" is beyond nonsense lad. It is stuck in the middle of nowhere. Look at the attached. To say it is a minor trading route is an understatement. If we're dependent on that to get to first oil - we're fked. http://googlemapsmania.blogspot.com/2019/02/the-world-map-of-shipping-traffic.html

Someone constantly whining - yet can write off £400k just like that - what kind of weirdo does that bring to mind? Who, but a gob****e, would hold (instead of selling up) £400k worth of shares til they are worth nothing when the company is already "bust"? Given the opportunity to TRY and do something - all he did was whine. Pathetic.

Earl: listen...I hope to God you're correct, my relatively small holding here with such an uplift will sort out my retirement, just think it's a very long shot.

The market cap for this is: £3million...so either the market thinks this will never happen or it is undervalued by a factor of 1,000 (minimum) - the market doesn't usually miss such an open goal.

FFS....the amount of f**king cranks on the internet is breathtaking.

Not getting into a "debate" regarding a scientific fact. Cubaneeler...climate is measured over centuries and millennia - not five years!

Fudd: 100% correct, no time for Thunberg...but this nonsense from too many people that it's "brainwashing" to acknowledge and address global warming (a scientific fact) is bizarre. I hold RKH/RDSB/BP...but fully understand man has to wean himself off fossil fuels.

"I took that as almost a taunt at our "pathetic attempt" to rock the boat..." totally agree - the terminology tells you all you need to know about their mindset.

Just had email confirming our request for given resolutions has been refused as we didn't reach the numbers required. I'd like to thank Glenrothes for all his hard work in trying to assist us in doing SOMETHING to address our present circumstances. The likes of that gobsh@te Godders, who will no doubt be delighted, can fk right off.

Steve 305...because you're quoting weather events rather than the actual climate. The Earth is warmer, that is an indisputable fact. It has always warmed and cooled....but never anywhere near this rate, the only issue is what part have we played and can we address it.

Not going to happen - but the irony is if they went with a ban on exploration but allowed development on discoveries (as opposed to both being stopped immediately) - Sea Lion/Isobel/Johnson would all, 100% certain, have to be developed! We'd be rich. Seriously - shows the environment Govts are operating in. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/may/18/no-new-investment-in-fossil-fuels-demands-top-energy-economist
