Are we really going to let cunts like this destroy our future??

Good for the climate fight, not for the actual climate. It'll drag the fight out a few more decades, and give them enough time to transition their investments. So, they want you to invest your money into a dying industry, so theirs can leave.

> The executive's pitch at the event - one of the city's biggest fossil fuel conferences - follows the company's recent announcement that it would cut oil and gas production more slowly than expected this decade.

> For the first time last year, investment in clean energy matched funding for fossil fuels, according to BloombergNEF. Still, the world is far behind a trajectory of emissions cuts that would enable it to reach the goals set out in the 2015 Paris climate agreement and prevent the worst impacts of global warming.

BP’s CEO: ‘I swear guys, if you invest more money into my company all the climate problems will go away by themselves!’

Up is down, down is up. These are not the droids you are looking for.

I'm sure he does. Blahahaha

guy sounds like the one greedy character from the Lorax

Man, the apocalypse, if anything, is just dumber, and lazily written than I would've imagined.
I mean, if that line was pitched to an oil CEO in a satire, like The Simpsons, you would've gotten kicked out of the writers' room.

Wow, even the far-right sites are reporting that the BP guy is actually saying that profits are down and clean energy investments are down. This from the Daily Caller:

CEO Bernard Looney of British oil giant BP has expressed plans to scale down the firm’s green energy investments as some have struggled to meet expectations, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday, citing anonymous sources familiar with the matter.

Looney intends to deemphasize ESG objectives and reassure investors that the company is focused on using its competitive advantages — including in oil and gas — to maximize returns, the WSJ reported. Though he has expressed disappointment in the performance of some green investments, Looney has characterized the move as a short-term readjustment and a BP spokesman referred the WSJ to previous statements the company has made stressing its commitment to reducing carbon emissions.

BP, alongside fellow British oil giant Shell, has struggled to keep up with U.S. competitors, with shares in the U.S.-based Exxon Mobil nearly doubling since January 2020 while BP’s have climbed just 7%,
