According to a report by Reuters, big oil and gas companies are being pressured by a social media campaign that promotes a "cease and desist" notice sponsored by climate activists, including Greta Thunberg. (Photo: Reuters)

The notice, signed by more than 660,000 people, demands energy company CEOs to "immediately stop opening any new oil, gas, or coal extraction sites, and stop blocking the clean energy transition", Reuters reported. (Photo: AP)

The notice also threatens legal action and more protests if the companies failed to comply. Here, a resident can be seen fixing a banner to protest against the global forum on a balcony in the Alpine resort of Davos, Switzerland. (Photo: Reuters)
