Norwegians love Winter Olympics so much we had to develop a feature to watch it all at the same time. 🇳🇴🥇

We knew fossil fuel companies were shameless in their reckless disregard for life on this planet.
But when they're shameless enough to sponsor the very events their products will destroy, something has to change.

Winter sport needs snow - not fossil fuels
Eni, one of the world’s biggest oil and gas corporations, is using the Winter Olympics & Paralympics to greenwash its fossil-fuelled destruction
You can’t protect winter sport while one of the Games’ biggest sponsors is fuelling the climate crisis
It’s time for the International Olympic Committee to drop oil and gas sponsorship
Polluters shouldn’t get a podium at the Games, share the video

1.6 MILLION cubic metres of artificial snow just to stage the Winter Olympics.
While fossil fuel giants like Eni sponsor the Games and fuel the crisis melting winter itself.
The International Olympic Committee must drop oil and gas sponsorships NOW.

MEPs urge the EU to block ICE from entering Europe for the Winter Olympics.
Several European lawmakers have urged the EU to impose restrictive measures on ICE, arguing that the agency should not operate in Europe due to concerns over democratic oversight and human rights.
The controversy has been further fuelled by revelations of ICE’s business relationships with French IT multinational Capgemini.

ICE will be present at the Winter Olympics in Milan — and we don't just mean the stuff you can skate on. @espn explains what they'll be doing there, and the initial reaction from Italian lawmakers. "This is a militia that kills, a militia that enters into the homes of people, signing their own permission slips. It is clear they are not welcome in Milan, without a doubt," said Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala.

As a person from a tropical country, I never really took the #WinterOlympics seriously. They were not televised in my country and I got to know late that they actually exist 🎿
We also don't call the Summer Olympics that, we call them simply "Olympic Games". There is nothing else 😄
I wonder if people from other tropical countries see it this way too.
