Can we banish polluters from our billboards? Words by Danny Chivers.
The fossil fuel companies are lying to us. Again.
A recent peer-reviewed study examined the climate claims of ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell and BP in detail – and found that they amounted to little more than greenwash.1 All those adverts and announcements about moving to a low-carbon future? In fact, these companies have been increasing their exploration for new oil and gas.
The New Internationalist is an independent bi-monthly not-for-profit magazine that reports on action for global justice. We believe in putting people before profit, in climate justice, tax justice, equality, social responsibility and human rights for all.
New Internationalist acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We acknowledge that these lands were stolen and sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to Elders both past and present.
