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

🚨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.

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.
