Petrol pumps in Britain should carry climate change warning labels akin to the legally-mandated health warnings on cigarette packages, a group of scientists have said.
In a blog post for the British Medical Journal (BMJ), British, American, and Indian professionals from within healthcare and environmental studies have claimed that petrol pumps, airline tickets, and even energy bills should come with warning labels which state clearly that continuing to burn fossil fuels worsens the climate emergency.
The opinion piece, published on Tuesday, draws parallels to the gory pictures of blackened lungs or rotten teeth now displayed on cigarette packages, implying that a similar tactic should be employed at points of sale of fossil fuels. The piece suggests that if petrol pumps and gas bills similarly use graphic imagery, these warnings can change attitudes and behaviour, consigning driving petrol cars and keeping ones house at a comfortable temperature to the realms of other socially unacceptable addictions.
