Fossil fuel firms are 'godfathers of climate chaos', says UN chief

The secretary general of the UN said fossil fuel companies should be banned from advertising in every country, akin to the restrictions on big tobacco.

António Guterres delivered fresh scientific warnings of global heating in a major speech in New York. He called on news and tech media to stop enabling 'planetary destruction' by taking fossil fuel firms' advertising money, while warning that the world faces 'climate crunch time' in its faltering attempts to stem the crisis

The atomic bomb is the real problem. How many degrees of heat was generated by use and testing? How much contaminated sea water from Fukushima, land from Chernobyl and air from Three mile island? These areas are still unsafe yet not much is done... Blame fossil fuel.
