There is fossil fuel advertising?
Yes. NYT has been feeding me propane ads and BP ads. I already bitched at them last week and I'll do it again. I think it was Pennsylvania years ago where I saw a billboard that literally said "you need fossil fuels to survive".
I suppose those high octane petrol advertisements would count?
If I see one more “BP is dumping billions into the US economy” YouTube ad after I’ve supposedly blocked it, I’m gonna lose my mind.
uBlockorigin is the way to go.
and firefox. chrome wont block all ads going forward.
Chrome also sends all data to Google.
They always say how good, important, necessary they are without any mention of the pain and suffering that they have caused in the past and the chaos that they bequeath to our kids. Definitely ban them advertising!
And… On those gas pump video screens, require the display of climate change images and forecasts while you pump.
