Controversy over advertising campaign for heating oil

 Greenpeace has filed a complaint of unfairness against the Petroleum Association because its advertising campaign "Heating with oil: for more climate protection" is said to be cynical and misleading. The oil association accuses Greenpeace of disinformation.  
Greenpeace describes the heating oil advertisements appearing in numerous newspapers as unfair because they conceal the fact that oil is the most climate-damaging fuel next to coal. Instead, it is claimed that heating with oil protects the climate. Greenpeace refers to the latest UN climate reports. Greenpeace has submitted the complaint to the Swiss Commission for Fair Trading. This commission is a self-regulatory body for the advertising industry.
 
The oil association defends itself against the accusations. It is the environmental organization that is spreading disinformation. The advertisements are about modern oil heating systems with significantly lower oil consumption. The use of condensing technology improves energy efficiency and reduces emissions of pollutants.
