    Colin Furze is the only influencer named, and most of the video is an interview with Sam Bright about some of the campaigns and who they are targeting. The title is a bit misleading as it doesn’t actually reveal any other influencers who are accepted sponsorships or have openly promoted initiatives by the fossil fuel industry.

      Yeah I felt a bit uncomfortable watching this video. On one hand I agree with everything they’re saying regarding the fact that influencers should not be taking money from major oil companies especially if they side with green energy and environmentalism. But on the format of the video made it feel like they we’re specifically attacking just Colin Furze for hosting the Shell event, even though that was probably not their intention.

      Not mentioned in this video, but Climate Town did another one about cooking gas and it talks about influencers being paid to promote cooking with gas.

    Not “influencers”. Hucksters.
