We banned cigarette ads for the good of public health – fossil fuels must be next Ahead of a Commons debate that could get oil companies banned from sponsoring museums and sporting events such as Formula One, Jonathon Porritt, a former environmental adviser to King Charles, says it...

🔴 'Those whose job it is today to reinforce collective addiction to fossil fuels – through advertising and sponsorship – are no less reprehensible than those who profited so handsomely from promoting cigarettes over many, many decades' ✅
🔴 "The fossil fuel playbook needs to completely shredded" ✅

A mass lobbying exercise of UK MPs on climate change and nature is taking place on Wednesday at 9.30am

Will it get as much coverage as the NFU's mass lobby over IHT on 19 November? I doubt it, unless WWF's Tanya Steele rides into Westminster on a bison...

It was a pleasure to run 12 miles with the legend Dan Lawson as he attempts to break the record for the 630-mile south-west coast path. By the end of day 2 he had reached Brixham 151 miles in. He was tired but chugging along at a strong pace and chatting happily. God speed. He has a long way to go.

Roll clouds in Portugal and wildfires in Turkey: what’s behind the heatwave? As Europe swelters in an early heatwave, with temperatures of up to 46C, the harsh truth is that climate change means we will have to adapt to extreme weather

"Exceptional"

That's how @oceanterra.org describes Europe's boiling heatwave

It's unusual because
- it's early in summer
- it's widespread in extent
- the temperatures are extreme

Worse is yet to come without CO2 cuts and adaptation, scientists warn

Unacceptable FIFA deal is final straw - they must stop advertising fossil fuels A group of footballers, led by David Wheeler, have come together to demand meaningful action from FIFA on the climate crisis ahead of the Club World Cup in the United States

🚨 Men's players call for end to fossil fuel ads in football!

New op-ed is authored by David Wheeler and signed by a group of other pro players ⚽

The piece digs into sponsorship, climate risks and FIFA's failure of leadership 🧵 THREAD

FIFA must drop their sponsorship with Saudi Aramco, the biggest oil company in the world. They should not be promoting the burning of more fossil fuels during a climate crisis.

I am proud to lead a group of current and former pro players calling for this change.
