A proposed oil field off Shetland has put focus on the future of the industry amid the climate change crisis. What’s your view?

There has to be balance. So many calls to stop using certain resources without really considering how other resources may be just as damaging. Take the electric car, have people really considered how they are made? It is not only a question of current jobs but how effective alternatives really are.

Lorna Smith

If we don’t focus on the planet, future jobs will be irrelevant. There won’t be any paid work if flooding and forest fires destroy the world!

Susan Ireland

The oil field should indeed go ahead. We are not even close to going green. Stuart Croy

We will always need oil. If we end up not producing oil, then we will have to buy it from others at extortionate prices. Norrie Mclellan

Some people don’t realise how serious the climate crisis is. Jobs should be transferred into the renewable energy sector. Stephen Calder

At present we are required to focus on both (the economy and the environment). There has to be a gradual transition. Judi Martin

Looking at the big picture, we have to save the planet. No planet = no us. Allan Bryce
