Climate Lens host Me with a few words about #BillC59 (the Canadian government's pushback against #BigOil #disinfo inre #ClimateChange, #NetZero and #CarbonCapture) that had #PathwaysAlliance scrub its website & socials.

"#BillC59 caused #PathwaysAlliance - a coalition of six oil sands companies in Canada to wipe clean their websites & socials while Alberta's infamous petroleum propaganda house, aka the #AlbertaWarRoom closed its private facade to get folded into provincial government protection"

"Canada's oil & gas industry's ongoing dangerously dishonest practises were dealt a blow earlier this year with #BillC59's passage, anti-#greenwash legislation that'd see corporate perpetrators facing fines of up to a MILLION $ per day the false representation remains published"

Some Heroes DO Wear C.A.P.E.s:...

Oil companies aren't allowed to #greenwash any more but of course the far right, American-owned, serial liars & climate deniers at the #NationalPost have no such limitations. They've done Canada so much harm.

If overstatement and exaggeration are hallmarks of greenwashing, then perhaps Ottawa, Alberta and other provinces should be more careful when describing their actions, writes Ian Urquhart #BillC59 #emissions #GHG #fossilfuels #greenwashing #Canada https://www.nationalobserver.com/2024/08/09/opinion/canada-needs-tell-us-truth

Passing Bill C-59 is a major win against fossil fuel greenwashing. It's an uphill battle but wins can be won against the fossil fuel industry. We can't give up to save our future #BillC59 #Canada #ClimateCrisis #greenwashing #fossilfuels https://ccli.ubc.ca/bill-c-59-anti-greenwashing/#

Canada's greenwashing law has been a major reality check for the oil lobby #greenwashing #fossilfuels #Canada #cdnpoli #BillC59 #emissions https://www.corporateknights.com/?p=41803

The ads “distorted the true meaning of statements made by professionals or scientific authorities” and falsely promised ramping up LNG “will” lower global emissions." (see dubious ad in article by The Narwhal)

https://thenarwhal.ca/opinion-vancouver-lng-greenwashing-ads/

#FossilFuels are produced primarily from #fracking

Under #BillC59 claims about a business’s environmental benefits can only be made if they’re substantiated in accordance with “internationally recognized methodology"

Very telling... Imperial Oil, Exxon’s subsidiary, told investors that carbon capture and storage is “critical” to achieving the “climate goals outlined in the #ParisAgreement

After Canada passed anti- #greenwashing legislation (June 2024), Imperial Oil deleted its carbon capture claim + 39 related docs from its website

#BillC59 prohibits companies from making green claims unless they can provide credible evidence that their environmental record is actually improving

In Canada, a new law makes dishonest greenwashing illegal.

Suddenly every claim about Carbon Capture and Storage has been scrubbed much more thoroughly than smokestack exhaust.

Greenwashers "we're taking down our lies, not because they became more accurate, but because the law made us."

Is the attempt to spin it a hilarious fail, or a painful reminder that they're intact and still trying to spread BS?

"After the passage of Bill C-59, the Pathways Alliance immediately scrubbed its entire website. “This is a direct consequence of the new legislation and is not related to our belief in the truth and accuracy of our environmental communications,” it explained."
