NEW PIECE: Spain's World Cup quarter-final began with a minute's silence for victims of deadly wildfires. Seconds later, screens lit up with Aramco's branding. As fossil fuelled wildfires raged back home, Spain's young stars were used to sell more oil 🧵 cooldownclimate.org/latest/a…

When Hurricane Melissa hit Haiti, football pitches became emergency hubs. Not because of the grass. But because of the trust built there over years. A powerful piece from Kathy McAllister of @goalshaiti on why sport is about far more than sport. 👇 1/6 cooldownclimate.org/latest/w…

South Africa is back at the World Cup since 2010. But the 2026 tournament could be the most carbon-intensive ever, while FIFA is sponsored by the world's biggest oil company. youtube.com/shorts/juF03OBZG…

Why does sport, even in its most humanitarian guise, sell its sportswashing services to deeply problematic, high-polluting sponsors?
INVESTIGATION: Why was Edmilson representing Barcelona deep in the Amazon jungle? The Barca Foundation is a force for good — but indigenous leaders say a partnership with Gran Tierra Energy sportswashes the oil company's alleged abuses. With @mrendell: nytimes.com/athletic/7288023…

Gli sport invernali hanno bisogno di neve, non di aziende inquinanti. Eni, il colosso italiano del petrolio e del gas, sponsorizza le Olimpiadi e le Paralimpiadi invernali di Milano Cortina per ripulirsi l’immagine e nascondere la distruzione causata dalle sue emissioni. Chi alimenta la crisi climatica, minacciando la sopravvivenza di ghiaccio e neve da cui i Giochi Invernali dipendono, non può essere sponsor dei Giochi! È ora che il Comitato Olimpico Internazionale rinunci alle sponsorizzazioni da parte delle aziende del petrolio e del gas. Se anche tu pensi che chi inquina non dovrebbe salire sul podio dei Giochi, condividi il video. #Oilympics #OlimpiadiInvernali #MilanoCortina #MilanoCortina2026 #WinterOlympics #MakePollutersPay Credits: Production Company: Studio Birthplace Music Credits: Winter by Antonio Vivaldi Recording by Philip Milman (Lud & Schlatt’s Musical Emporium) Media: Getty Images, Pond 5
