UK's Rosebank oilfield can be approved within climate targets, say insiders

Government insiders say the giant Rosebank oilfield could be approved without breaching UK emissions targets, because emissions from exported oil do not count towards domestic carbon budgets. Energy secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh was reported to be leaning towards rejection, putting her at odds with cabinet colleagues, including chancellor John Healey, who back approval. Climate campaigners are expected to object.
