What are you thinking of, @FT?
How can you be allowing fossil industry to shape the narrative when they’ve lied, delayed the transition and put human survival at risk?
Advertising slows down our ability to eliminate fossil fuels from our economy, which needs to happen urgently

Looks like the interest-rate hike is pushing the economy into recession, what the Chancellor called ‘a price worth paying’
But we should be focusing on what the economy does, not how big it is
We should be focused on figures on the speed of the sustainability transition
