“Canada told the fossil fuel industry greenwashing was illegal, and its response was that having to be honest and transparent would make it too hard to do business. Apparently the threat worked, so now Canadians will be subjected to more false claims and have fewer ways to protect themselves against industrial disinformation, despite polling showing over 80% of Canadians want the country to do more on disinformation, not less,” said Phil Newell, co-chair of Climate Action Against Disinformation.
I cannot see any possible justification for doing this. Just shameful.
Bad move. Now we must assume by default that O&G is greenwashing/lying.
Tbf I always assumed that anyway.
Why? What was the cost of this? How does that hinder the budget or the economy in any way?
Has anybody made anti-greenwashing boycott stickers to put on products?
