Idle Oil Platforms In The Cromarty Firth

A general view of disused Oil rigs anchored in the Cromarty Firth on October 22, 2021 in Cromarty, Scotland. 70 leading climate scientists from across the globe have urged Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson to end new oil and gas investments. They argue that the UK must take “bold political action” on fossil fuels and rule out new oil and gas investment to ensure the upcoming COP 26 climate summit due to be held in Glasgow next month is a success.
