Bristol Climate Choir perform at Cascade Steps

By Sofia Lambis  Wednesday Apr 30, 2025

“In 2025 it feels like July… don’t you notice anything weird” sang Bristol Climate Choir as they protested climate change and the Rosebank oil field.

Members of the Climate Choir’s Bristol-branch and Bristol Stop Rosebank gathered at the Cascade Steps to protest energy company Equinor resubmitting their application.

Their song Too Damn Hot was accompanied by musicians on a keyboard, guitar and trumpet.

Around 25 protesters danced and sang about rising temperatures, holding a banner that read ‘Rosebank destroys the climate but doesn’t lower our bills’.

The Climate Choir Movement was started in Bristol in 2022 and conducts “peaceful protest performances on the climate and nature emergency”.

Located west of Shetland, Rosebank oil and gas field is the largest undeveloped oil field in the North Sea.

In 2023 the former Conservative government and the North Sea Transition Authority cleared plans to drill at Rosebank. Scotland’s Court of Session has since declared this consent unlawful.
