Murray Auchincloss says BP’s ‘aim’ to reduce oil and gas emissions by 20-30% was not confirmed as a ‘target’
How much "pragmatism" is there on a dead planet? These greedy bastards have known that their core product is a serious problem for years. It is time to tax them out of existence.
The only way to "reduce oil and gas emissions" is to leave the stuff in the ground!

The usual line from the #DirtyEnergy spokespeople elected to parliament is that Australia is too small a player for Oz energy policy to make any significant contribution to #ClimateDisruption.
It's always been a lie. Australia has always punched above its weight when it comes to climate responsibility, having the largest fossil fuel resources per capita in the world.
For years, courts have even largely accepted the government's 'drug dealer' defence when it comes to approving new coal and gas projects ("if we don't sell it, someone else will, who doesn't even have our standards!").
But if you want to see the lie laid bare, check this story. The mere possibility of temporary industrial action at a single Australian dirty energy company is already having global impacts on gas markets.
