Greenpeace will fight to block the development of a new oilfield in the UK.

Horribly, the US continues to sell oil leases to oil companies. Meanwhile, China and India are still building coal-fired generators. This prepares death for people who will be alive in a few decades.

Does that mean it is a waste of time to fight to stop one large oil field in the UK? Not at all. Every megaton of oil left in the ground is an important step.
