Cities across the world are clearing their billboards of flight ads, SUVs, cruise ships and petrol cars in an attempt to cut emissions.

What is also interesting is that advertisements for smoking, and for fossil fuels and fossil technology are often remarkably similar.

For example, ads for cars show a lone man in a shiny verhicle in front of a lonely, desert landscape with a clear, wide sky. Such a breath of fresh air, LOL!

Who would associate such a view with burning forests, cities crowded with traffic jams, flooded communities, children with heavy asthma (produced by NOx emissions from cars, causing photochemical smog), and relatives painfully dying in hospitals from circulatory failure during a heat wave? These ads are everything but enigneered to mislead about the effects of pollution and climate change.

    Every SUV should be sold with a massive banner of toxic smog wrapped around it. Or just that one pic of the generic US street with a stroad and billboards everywhere.
