My question is to Professor Buckley. The climate emergency is awash with fake news and is disfigured and defaced by greenwashing by huge polluters with massive amounts of money. These days, one would almost think that these fossil fuel producers were going to chain themselves to the trees they are planning to plant, so powerful are their advertisements, PR and marketing. They are spending hundreds of millions of euro to persuade us that they are the good guys. Will Professor Buckley comment on how worrying greenwashing is in the emergency we are facing?
