BP’s climate u-turn set to cause an extra 72,000 deaths from extreme heat

A few weeks ago, BP scrapped its 2030 production target

Now our analysis shows the increased emissions from this U-turn will likely cause tens of thousands more heat deaths by 2100

🚨BP has just announced that its boss pocketed a staggering £5.4 million last year.🚨

An average UK worker has to work 143 years to earn what BP CEO Murray Auchincloss does in one.

£5.4 million for a climate U-turn while the planet burns & millions struggle with soaring bills.

New oil and gas WON'T bring down bills or improve energy security. All it does is make millions for profiteering oil giants while wrecking the climate. Kwasi knows this.

Is Israel committing humanitarian crimes in Gaza? The Israeli gov’t strenuously denies it.

What we are initiating today could literally change the face of the world.

We thought long and hard about this and concluded that it was impossible to moralise the speculators of climate chaos.

Far from supporting British cyclists, our analysis suggests that heat caused by Shell’s emissions until 2050 could be responsible for 2 million heat deaths by 2100

We looked at the human cost of increased temperatures and cross-referenced this with Big Oil’s production plans.

What did we find?

That #BigOil’s emissions could cause 11.5 million deaths from heat by 2100 ⬇

Extreme heat is deadly.

Our analysis reveals that the oil and gas produced by Shell, Exxon, Chevron, BP and TotalEnergies between now and 2050 could cause up to 11.5 million excess deaths from extreme heat.
