Today we launched our world first challenge the global ad giant WPP over their work for polluting clients.
WPP agencies have promoted pollution for Shell, BP, Equinor, HSBC, JP Morgan Chase, Toyota, and more. Time to hold them to account.

It’s why I’m petitioning for a ban on fossil fuel advertising and sponsorships – for too long oil and gas companies have had largely unlimited £££ to greenwash their filthy reputations for government and the public . We say no more . petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

In other news, 13 of the biggest oil ports will be seriously damaged by just 1 metre of #SeaLeveRise. @iccinet.bsky.social warns 1m rise is inevitable & 3m is now likely, possibly as early as 2100s. "Ironic" as it's the burning of #FossilFuels causing this #ClimateEmergency
