I'm not sure at all this is actually a Yes Men prank. The company, and the 'founder' Christopher Mbanefo have traces across internet history going back to 2011-2013, TED talks, social profiles etc that are old enough to likely be genuine #COP26

It sounds too far-fetched to be true, but it's all too real - #COP26 bosses fall for prank jet firm in 'greenwashing' stunt by @theyesmen thenational.scot/news/19702038.

The funny thing is that if this isn't a prank, it's even funnier, because the website and the company's climate claims read like a parody of greenwashing, and absolutely something I'd assume was written purely to make fun of corporate fake climate action yasava.com/#commitment

Maybe they set up the accounts and company in 2013, and hired a guy to do *actual* TED talks? In which case, mad respect. Or maybe they took a real company and claimed it was a parody to make a point? In which case, also mad respect

It's definitely a real company and guy, unless they've been paying an actor to do podcasts and youtube vids that are barely watched?? I can't find any confirmation they're in R2Z or SbTI, though

Got to be the second, the company was exhibiting in tradeshows for a decade, that's just too expensive to be a prank.

I will move in the Senate to protect the ABC from the blatant attack launched on it by the Morrison Govt. Independence of our public broadcaster is an essential part of our Australian democracy. It shouldn’t be up to politicians to dictate what the ABC can and cannot report on.
