UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for a worldwide ban on advertising by coal, oil, and gas companies in a bid to fight the rising climate crisis. This comes as temperatures climb to record highs, with the past year being the hottest on the record since pre-industrial eras. Guterres warns of the terrible consequences of allowing the fossil fuel industry to continue profiting unimpeded, influencing nations and media platforms to take decisive action to stop its promotion. The World Meteorological Organization supports this urgency, predicting an 80% probability of temperatures exceeding 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial level in five years, exceeding the limit set by global leaders in 2015.
