'At the end of July — the hottest month ever recorded — British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced new oil and gas licenses will be granted in the North Sea.'

Once again the culprit, #fossilfulels. “Plastics are made from by-products of oil and gas refining; many of the chemicals involved, such as benzene and vinyl chloride, are #carcinogens …Many of the others have never been adequately tested.”

I’ve lately been seeing a lot of commercials online by #Aramco, the #SaudiArabian #Oil Company. They’re full of #FeminismWashing with claims that they support #WomensRights and career development. They may well do to some extent but given that it is owned by the Saudi government, it’s a bit rich. Also there is no mention that they are a #Petroleum company which continue to push their business interests ahead of the needs of getting ourselves weaned off #FossilFulels.
