Health for XR

On 21 October the government approved gas production at the Jackdaw field.
As health professionals, we regard this as a matter of patient safety. Jackdaw is a health decision, not only an energy decision.
Our position statement 🧵

The Government’s decision on the Jackdaw gas field records an estimate that its emissions would contribute to 8,074 heat-related deaths worldwide by 2100.
The decision called that harm “speculative”.
As health workers, we want to talk about what that word is doing (para 211)🧵
