Yet, football itself is making the crisis worse. The study reveals that the sport emits 64-66 million tonnes of CO2e per yearโ€”more many countries' annual emissions.

๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ’ฅ HUGE WIN for @StopCambo! Massive congrats to all who have campaigned tirelessly for this. This is a breakthrough for public over private interests. For a liveable future over fossil fuel profits. Now, the government must cancel Rosebank and ban new oil and gas for good.

Yesterday, world No. 1 Jannik Sinner teetered on the brink due to extreme heat at the Australian Open. Yet, the tournament still advertises the polluting industries that profit from business-as-usual warming. @AustralianOpen โ€“ climate leadership means dropping Emirates and Kia.
