About Us

Find out what your car manufacturer, supermarket, and energy supplier, and oil companies, airlines, house builders and other companies, really think about climate change.

Climate change is the most important issue of the day – but do they think so?

As a concerned individual I wrote to the head of 65 major companies in Great Britain across a range of sectors to find out their attitude towards it. The companies are listed below.

To prevent the letters and their replies being duller than a celebrity’s autobiography, I pretended to be a self-made IT millionaire called Peter Shullot who does not believe in climate change. By claiming that climate change is a myth and attempts to tackle it are a threat to big business, I sought for the companies to state their actual views on the issue and not the ones polished by PR. When a reply was not received then a follow up letter was sent up to three times. The name Peter Shullot is a pseudonym and an anagram for The Polluters. The address I used is a postal address only.
