French court convicts TotalEnergies over misleading climate claims
The Paris court found that TotalEnergies had made environmental claims that “misled” consumers into believing that it could achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 while increasing oil and gas production.
The court, however, dismissed complaints over TotalEnergies linked to its fossil gas and biofuels.
Activists had argued that they had deceptively promoted gas and biofuels as clean energy.
“When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’
’The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’
’The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all.”
Lewis Carroll - Through the Looking-Glass (1871)
