As COP30 begins today, Clean Creatives is releasing an open letter from influencers and creators with a combined audience of over 24 million, urging the UN and COP30 to pause new work with Edelman due to conflicts of interest. What’s the conflict?

The National’s new coal-sponsored anti-climate platform is a masterclass in cherry picking, half truths and distraction dressed up as an environment policy.

To understand how Bari Weiss might approach climate coverage at CBS, I read every climate article the Free Press has published.

Almost every one reinforced a common fossil fuel industry talking point—that climate change is exaggerated, that solutions don't work, and that fossil fuels = freedom
Bari Weiss vs. climate change
At The Free Press, Weiss consistently rebrands tired fossil fuel talking points as courageous, rebellious dissent.

A big thanks to those that dug into the Nationals decision to drop net zero and discovered it was based on “research” from the Coal Australia lobby group.

South Australia is a leader in renewables, so why are government buses still calling methane gas 'clean and green'? 😮

Comms Declare has asked Ad Standards to investigate Adelaide Metro buses for potential greenwashing.

If you wonder why UN COP climate talks are failing - look no further than their choice of Edelman for their PR.

Edelman invented the fossil fuel narratives, and now it’s running communications for COP30. All the while, frontline communities are telling very different stories.

When is a front page story not journalism?

In our second submission to the Senate Greenwashing inquiry, we argue that advertising features are an open door for misleading the public on climate change.

Feeling the heat today? As climate change pushes us into more record temperatures, attribution science can tell us which companies are to blame.

It's a legal and moral minefield for the agencies that work for climate polluters.

Did you know, McKinsey has worked with like 2/3 of the companies responsible for 80 percent of global emissions over the last decade, including Exxon, Chevron, Saudi Aramco, etc. They may not be the most reliable narrator.

This is a landmark that adds momentum to the wave of local governments banning the promotion of polluting industries. 🧵 1/6

Said it before, will probably die saying it, we are never going to solve the climate disinfo problem if we don't fix media. As @maxboykoff.bsky.social notes here, the public by and large learns about climate change via the media, so if the media trades in false equivalence, it's damaging!
