The ACCC has launched Federal Court action against gas distributor Australian Gas Networks Limited alleging it made false and misleading representations in its ‘Love Gas’ TV and digital advertising campaign.
The ACCC alleges Australian Gas Networks misled millions of consumers when it represented, in ads that ran during 2022 and 2023, that the gas it distributes to households on its network will be renewable within a generation.
Australian Gas Networks did not have reasonable grounds for making the unqualified claim about the future of gas, which featured in advertisements run on free-to-air television, streaming services and on YouTube, the ACCC alleges.
“We allege that Australian Gas Networks engaged in greenwashing in its ‘Love Gas’ ad campaign,” ACCC Chair Gina Cass-Gottlieb said.
“We allege that the ads overstated the likelihood of Australian Gas Networks overcoming significant technical and economic barriers to distribute renewable gas to households within a generation.”
“It is not currently possible to distribute renewable gas at scale and at an economically viable price, and throughout 2022 and 2023 it was highly uncertain whether, and if so when, this would be possible,” Ms Cass-Gottlieb said. https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/australian-gas-networks-in-court-over-alleged-greenwashing-in-renewable-gas-campaign #greenwashing #ACCC #auslaw #auspol
Par ailleurs, l'AMF reconnait de nombreuses lacunes dans les pratiques de finance durable.
Face à l'urgence climatique, des contrôles et des sanctions dissuasifs doivent être menés !
Cette autorité pourrait suivre les exemples américains ou allemands pour lutter contre le #greenwashing
En réponse, la Présidente de l'AMF revenait sur les actions qu'elle mène pour assurer une finance réellement durable.

As #ExtremeHeat Bakes US, 160+ #Global Groups Demand 'Real' #ClimateAction
Reject #FalseSolutions, such as #NaturalGas, #MegaDams, #geoengineering, #bioenergy, forest offsets, #CarbonTrading schemes, #NuclearEnergy, biodiversity credits, and #CarbonCapture and storage.

Excerpt: " 'While #governments and #corporations push us deeper into #ClimateChaos, movements around the world are rising,' she noted. 'From every corner of the Earth, women leaders are coming together with solutions and strategies to defend our planet and our communities. We call on governments and financial institutions to heed their voices and ensure effective and equitable policies—from Bonn to Belém and beyond. We must rise boldly, because climate change is not waiting for politics. Our movements are not bending. We are not breaking. We are defining and building a healthy and just future for all.'
"The new call to action points out that 'last year, the world breached this threshold with global average temperatures exceeding 1.5ºC above preindustrial levels. This alarming milestone is not yet a permanent breach of the Paris agreement guardrail, which refers to long-term warming, although scientists predict that 2024 will be the first of a 20-year period reaching 1.5ºC warming.'
" 'Although the pathway is drastically narrowing, the International Energy Agency affirms that the goal of the Paris agreement is still attainable,' the publication continues. 'Scientists assert that limiting global warming to 1.5ºC will require significant and urgent action from governments and financial institutions.'
"Specifically, the coalition outlined 10 broad actions for governments and financial institutions, beginning with urging both the public and private sectors to end fossil fuel expansion and extraction, and to 'reject false solutions, such as natural gas, mega-dams, geoengineering, bioenergy, forest offsets, carbon trading schemes, nuclear energy, biodiversity credits, and carbon capture and storage.'
"The collective also called for accelerating a just transition, promoting women's leadership and gender equity, protecting the rights of #IndigenousPeoples, safeguarding #forests and #biodiversity, preserving oceans and freshwater, advancing #FoodSecurity and #sovereignty, implementing the #RightsOfNature, providing robust climate finance, and cutting off financial institutions' support for 'harmful projects and redirecting resources into climate solutions.' "

New #deletedscenes We dig up some unreleased fragments of our conversation with architect, artist and curator Paulo Tavares. His reflections touch on the role of museums in shaping public discourse, on their engagement and connection with the environment and the climate crisis, and on how they can avoid succumbing to the rhetoric of greenwashing.

Today in "Carbon Capture Still Doesn't Work"
FOI reveals that UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves admitted behind closed doors that public subsidies for CCUS schemes are just a way of giving windfall tax revenues back to fossil fuel companies.
I've just been on one of #WorstBus' new electric buses.
It proudly proclaims 'zero emission' on its sides.
Until particulates from brakes and tyres can be eliminated, the vehicle's emissions are more than zero.
