I'm sure I've read they somehow contravene Equality legislation
From the US to Uganda, how climate activism has been criminalised in 2024 - The global crackdown against climate activists and groups is clearly part of the fossil fuel industry’s strategy to crush dissent and keep burning the planet #climate #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming #ClimateEmergency #FossilFuel #Environment https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/dec/12/down-to-earth-climate-protest-new-york?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

This isn't a perfect example, but back in 2008 the series "Life After People" had both UK and US narration for the same show, which gives an interesting example of how different a tone can be set just by the soundtrack - Here's the first minute in each language of S02E07.

I was talking to somebody a few days ago about how "The Curse of Oak Island" would be an entirely different show in the UK - Each season would be cut down to 2 or 3 episodes, there would be much more emphasis on the archaeology and the technology, and the narration wouldn't be anything like as dramatic and irritating.
Since 2019, 22 pieces of new legislation have been introduced in countries including Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, India, Norway, Peru, Philippines, Russia, South Africa, Turkey, Uganda, United Kingdom, and the United States to limit climate protests.
This is state capture by the fossil fuel industry.
Australia leads the world in arresting climate and environment protesters
By Gareth Hutchens
A new study shows more than 20 per cent of climate and environment protests in Australia lead to arrests, more than in the UK, Norway, and the United States.
This can have a significant impact for humanity.
Little note: the biggest polluters wipe their asses with dollar- and euro-bills and have pretty much every politician on the spectrum in their pocket.

"The impacts of the food trade on the planet are a source of concern as well. Exporting countries often pay a heavy environmental toll to meet foreign demand. In Brazil, huge swaths of the Amazon rainforest and Cerrado savanna have been lost to pastures and fields that produce beef and soybeans...Livestock, fertilizers, transport, and the conversion of forest to fields together account for one-third of global carbon emissions."
