Carbon Omissions

20211029

20211030 (R4)

Cop26 is fast approaching. The usually imperturbable IPCC's latest report can best be translated as Panic!' and our Facebook feeds and Twitter timelines are littered daily with biblical scenes of infernos and flooding. But at least corporations are taking the crisis seriously... if you believe their advertising that is.

In an anarchic and challenging documentary series, BAFTA winning activist and satirist Heydon Prowse gives us his personal take as he unpacks the multi-billion-dollar PR and advertising industry that's helping businesses across tech, energy, food and farming appear climate friendly.

With increasing consumer demand for more sustainable stuff, companies are today falling over themselves to meet increased consumer demand for more sustainable products. Are we seeing the world's largest companies shift in a more sustainable direction or is all this slick advertising just lulling us into a false sense of security?

In this first episode, the oil and gas industry, where influencers dance around cartoon solar panels and company's twitter feeds read like they've pivoted to become environmental campaigners.

If we're going to save the planet while maintaining our quality of life we're going to have to look to technological innovation for the answers. The good news is that every multi-billion-dollar behemoth in Silicon Valley has gone green, and just as vocal as the companies about their climate targets are the billionaire bosses behind them.
