Exposing corporate greenwashing & climate change disinformation on social media since #COP26.

[Eco-Bot.Net @EcoBotNet]

THREAD: Our latest investigation by @thomaslewton for the @guardian found that BP spent £800k on social media ads as a windfall tax on energy companies was debated in the UK, and as oil & gas majors announced record profits. And they were not alone. 🧵1/6 https://t.co/VbMQS3KDHG

Last week someone sent me dozens on internal documents from a fossil fuel trade group.

They reveal a massive greenwashing campaign that aims to convince Americans that propane (a fossil fuel) is good for the environment.

The campaign has already reached 300m+ people.

#BigOil companies have engaged in a “long-running #greenwashing campaign” while raking in “record profits at the expense of American 🇺🇸 consumers” https://t.co/MQzQINKEYC

Great recognition for EcoBot - an idea I first shared with RDN (after reading about climate denying Bots), he connected me with Barney - and I funded delivery.  Love the outcome.  Plenty of bad Bots about - now we have Eco Bots fighting misinformation.

So @amazon are kindly sponsoring the @pressgazette #BritishJournalismAwards. They have a wind farm in Scotland. They also emitted 72 million tons of CO2 last year. Go figure 🙃 #greenwashing

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

NEW: COP27 sponsor @CocaCola is named the world’s WORST plastic polluter for fifth year in a row!

Coca-Cola products have INCREASED by 63%.

Who else thinks we need less greenwashing and more REAL action to protect people and planet?

Big Polluters like @CocaCola are using #COP27 to greenwash their public image and pretend to be part of the solution. What's Coca-Cola really up to? 🧵
