We're gearing up for the big Parliamentary debate on a fossil ad ban. We spot that the ad self-regulator, the ASA, has chosen this moment to "reassure" the public about advertising. ๐Ÿ˜ But worth noting a fossil fuel ad & sponsor ban is the tobacco control for 21st century &. .

The issue has intensified since 2022, with global heating & major climate polluters Aramco in football and cricket, to Shell in cycling, Equinor & others all over sport (not to mention the airlines and car makers using sport as a billboard to normalise high carbon lifestyles). .

As fans & players swelter in dangerous heat, FIFA makes itself a billboard promoting the very polluters heating the planet, like oil giant Aramco (& the competition sponsored by car maker/major polluter Honda) as bad if not worse than tobacco sponsorship.

Why nuclear is bad economics, bad energy & climate policy & dumps a toxic legacy on our children. Written several years ago about Hinkley Point C, but same issue, every reactor is effectively a slow, unpredictable, expensive prototype with unsolved waste.
