UN chief calls for ban on fossil fuel adverts to save climate | BBC News


United Nations Secretary General António Guterres said the world’s fossil fuel industries should be banned from advertising to help save the world from climate change.

Mr Guterres called coal, oil and gas corporations the “godfathers of climate chaos” who had deceived the public for decades.

Just as tobacco advertising was banned because of the threat to health, the same should now apply to fossil fuels, he said.

His remarks were his most damning condemnation yet of the industries responsible for the bulk of global warming.

They came as new studies showed the rate of warming is increasing and that global heat records have continued to tumble.
