Stockholm visar vägen med förbud mot fossilreklam — New Weather Sverige Stockholms stad meddelade den 8 oktober att ett förbud mot fossilreklam i staden införs från och med sommaren 2026.

🚨 Campaign win! 🚨

The City of Stockholm has just voted to ban fossil fuel advertising on public ad spaces from summer 2026.

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

The door is open though…

There’s hope in Victoria for a ban on these sponsors. Pls email the Education minister commsdeclare.org/2025/10/07/v...

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!

Pope Leo hits out at critics of global warming In his first major statement on climate change, the pontiff criticises those who minimise climate change.

The new Pope has called on citizens to pressure for faster climate action.

Here's one of those lobbyists showing off on LinkedIn.

*Hold on!* Is that Resources Minister Madeleine King enjoying some gas-fired hospitality at the World Cup qualifier?!

Anyone recognise her? @davidpocock.bsky.social @zalisteggall.bsky.social @larissawaters.bsky.social

We're sure @australianlabor.bsky.social greenlighting Woodside's massive North West Shelf gas development had nothing to do with the five lobbyists employed by Japanese gas company, Jera and Woodside.

🙄 Media outlets News Corp and Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) Australia both produced content for fossil fuel giants. News Corp has features sponsored by gas companies and SBS created an ad for AGL to reach multicultural audiences.

🤑 There was a shocking 57 fossil fuel lobbying contracts in Federal Parliament alone over 2024-25, representing *up to a quarter* of all lobbyists in Canberra.

⛽ GRACosway again leads the pack with 10 fossil fuel contracts.

This year we've counted influence by the number of individual fossil fuel contracts, meaning we've got a better picture than ever of where the fossil fuel tentacles are reaching.

Our annual list of fossil-fuelled agencies is out.

With help from @cleancreatives.bsky.social we've compiled a looooong list of 156 communications companies helping to delay climate action across Australia and New Zealand.

Australia’s biggest gas project greenlit to 2070 with ‘partial’ protection for Indigenous rock art Environment minister Murray Watt says he’s confident new conditions imposed on the North West Shelf gas project extension will ‘protect jobs … and protect the rock art’

This will be exporting gas right up to the time when climate change makes the top end unliveable.

Carbon emissions from oil giants directly linked to dozens of deadly heatwaves for first time Study shows how individual fossil fuel companies are making previously impossible heatwaves happen and could have to pay compensation

The carbon pollution from ExxonMobil’s and Saudi Aramco’s fossil fuels made 51 heatwaves at least 10,000 times more likely.

🎉Wonderful news from Adelaide!

Signs showing the name of gas producer, Santos, have disappeared from the Botanic Gardens, following requests to drop the polluting sponsor.

More proof that, together, we can stop the toxic influence of big polluters.

The small patch of paddock emitting 10,000 cars’ worth of methane A single hole in country Queensland has a climate impact equivalent to 10,000 cars – and it’s just one of 130,000 unsealed boreholes across the state of concern for researchers.

“There’s so much methane in the soil that it’s suffocated the plants and nothing can grow there.”

Slow clap for Queensland coal producers.

'Huge' leak from gas plant kept secret from public in 'national scandal' Documents reveal the scale of carbon pollution leaking from a Darwin LNG tank was like adding 8,300 new cars to the road every year. It is about to be filled again.

HEY friends: recently seen heaps of "disclosures" from AI companies of the energy cost per question you type into chatbots (most recently from Google)?

Presenting per-query 'efficiency' is part of big tech's efforts to hide its extremely real and happening-right-now climate impacts!
