Strong correlation between rising global temp/CO2 & the number of UK people slammed in jail for climate action. It's like locking up ambulance drivers for trying to save lives. The UK once gloried in its freedom to protest versus oppressive Eastern Europe. theguardian.com/world/2024/decโ€ฆ

They say football is the beautiful game, but it can be a dirty one too, and in ways that you might not imagine. We've discovered that the game's dirtiest secret could be in how it lets itself be a billboard for some of the world's worst polluters... follow the ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡

If children eat more after seeing just 5 mins of junk food ads, imagine what constant exposure to ads for SUVs, flights & high carbon lifestyles does to people's climate impacts. Time to stop promoting our own self destruction & have a tobacco-style ad ban theguardian.com/society/2025/mโ€ฆ

My friend, the brilliant Matt Rendell, reveals the cynicism of fossil fuel sponsorship - aka sports/greenwash - in elite cycling. It's everywhere in sport, like tobacco sponsorship once was, but feels worse in cycling that should be pedalling forward the green transition...๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡

Matt Rendell @[email protected] does a powerful job calling out the pervasive and toxic, yet normalised sportswash by big, polluting fossil fuel sponsors in elite cycling (as in sport more generally). Important broadcasting and proper journalism where it is needed... ๐Ÿ‘‡
