The BBC has produced dozens of films and articles for oil and gas companies, agricultural giants, fossil fuel states, and high-emission transport firms in recent years.
The content was produced by BBC Storyworks, which boasts on its website that it 'leverages the reputation of the BBC'

@junesim63 Indeed - & all of us licence fee payers who care about the climate should protest very loudly indeed! SHAME on you, BBC!
@junesim63 actually, I think BBC Storyworks generates income for the Beeb and therefore works to reduce the licence fee.
It is part of the commercial arm of the Beeb, BBC Commercial, which is owned by the BBC and contributes its profits to the parent body.
This does not condone producing films for petrochemical companies and others which want to look good!
