Shouldn't the title be "Tokyo Gas gaslights the way to neutrality"?
Carney government scrapping #greenwashing rules via 2025 federal budget. It's "being framed as necessary to reduce “investment uncertainty".
🚨👉🏻 i.e. Scrapping the "rules that gave Canadians a private right of action against deceptive marketing and required companies to substantiate their environmental claims"
⚖️ "The law is [has been] working as intended, curbing unsubstantiated claims and restoring credibility to the marketplace"

"Sur le papier, c’était brillant. Dans les faits, c’est pathétique (...) les PHEV (voitures hybrides rechargeables) ne roulent qu’à 27 % de leur kilométrage en mode électrique. Pas 84 % comme l’affirment les tests officiels. Non, 27 %. Autrement dit, trois quarts du temps, vous roulez au pétrole avec une batterie morte qui pèse 400 kg pour rien"

In New Zealand, petrol retailer Z-Energy ran an ad campaign claiming they're "in the business of getting out of the petrol business".
That wasn't true.
In a landmark greenwashing case brought by Consumer NZ, the Environmental Law Initiative and Lawyers for Climate Action NZ Inc., Z have apologised, but in a really cack-handed way. CEO Lindis Jones twists his words into knots.
“Given our role in the economy and what we sell, and our ambition, it’s critical that anything we say to customers now or in the future is not misunderstood.”
"Misunderstood"? Z-Energy has been sprung for lying. For telling untruths.
There are full page ads from Z-Energy in today's Sunday papers, apologising. Or at least pretending to.

Were you shocked by the friday's NRK debate about the cost of climate politics?
We were.
Some of the "opinions" that came out during the debate are borderline to disinformation and anti-scientific discourse.
lets talk about it...

Huge news from France! A court has ruled Total Energies has been illegally #greenwashing and misleading the public, by claiming to be part of climate change solutions in its advertising.
The writing is on the wall for the fossil fuel industry.
No more lies, no more climate destruction.

Première mondiale : TotalEnergies a été condamné pour greenwashing
https://lareleveetlapeste.fr/premiere-mondiale-totalenergies-a-ete-condamne-pour-greenwashing/
Le tribunal judiciaire de Paris condamne #TotalEnergies pour pratiques commerciales trompeuses. En cause : ses allégations mensongères sur son « ambition d'atteindre la neutralité carbone d’ici 2050 » et « être un acteur majeur de la transition énergétique ».
« En reconnaissant que la communication de Total trompe les consommateurs, la justice française s’attaque enfin à l’impunité du #greenwashing fossile dont Total bénéficiait jusque-là. Elle envoie un message clair : la désinformation climatique n’est pas une stratégie commerciale acceptable »

It’s hard to call this “inspiring” when the reality tells a very different story. The UAE ranks 65th in the global Climate Change Performance Index, rated very low for emissions, renewables, and energy use — while actively increasing oil and gas production. 1)
