BREAKING: Campaigners blockade UK government offices in Edinburgh to demand Boris Johnson #StopJackdaw

It wouldn’t produce any gas, however, until 2025, with production peaking in 2026 and dropping by almost 60% within four years. Burning the gas in Jackdaw, though, would create more than half the annual emissions of Scotland, or more than Ghana’s entire annual emissions.
