The ICJ ruled states may be liable if failing to act on non-climate compliant fossil fuel industries. It is a very small step to the same applying to sectors co-dependent on fossil fuels, like aviation, SUV makers and, even advertisers. New @the_ecologist

@mrendell does a powerful job calling out the pervasive and toxic, yet normalised sportswash by big, polluting fossil fuel sponsors in elite cycling (as in sport more generally). Important broadcasting and proper journalism where it is needed... ๐
