United Nations alarmist-in-chief António Guterres laid into fossil fuel companies Wednesday, calling for a ban on their ads and increased taxes on energy firms.
The Portuguese socialist amped up his already heated rhetoric, insisting that the world is on a “highway to climate hell” and desperately needs an “exit ramp.”“Many in the fossil fuel industry have shamelessly greenwashed even as they have sought to delay climate action with lobbying, legal threats, and massive ad campaigns,” he inveighed.
“I call on these companies to stop acting as enablers of planetary destruction,” he continued. “Stop taking on new fossil fuel clients from today and set out plans to drop your existing ones.”“Your sector is full of creative minds who are already mobilizing around this cause. They are gravitating toward companies that are fighting for our planet — not trashing it,” he said.“Many governments restrict or prohibit advertising for products that harm human health – like tobacco,” he said.
“We do have a choice: Creating tipping points for climate progress – or careening to tipping points for climate disaster,” Guterres stated.
