‘Climate camp’ set up in Scotland to protest against North Sea oil and gas exploitation
HUNDREDS of climate activists, trade unionists and community campaigners set up a “climate camp” in Scotland today, protesting against plans to industrialise parkland as part of expanded North Sea oil and gas exploitation.
The Westminster government has given the go-ahead to the controversial Jackdaw oilfield exploitation off the coast of Scotland, flying in the face of Tory pledges on tackling the climate crisis.
The camp is in St Fittick’s Park in Aberdeen — the so-called “oil capital of Europe.”
