A BP state is pictured in London on May 19, 2022. (Photo: Mike Kemp/In Pictures via Getty Images). "This is how much greenwashing fossil fuel corporations care about the climate emergency," said climate scientist Bill McGuire. "They really don't give a sh*t." JAKE JOHNSON BP has worked hard—and spent big—to craft a public image as a forward-looking, environment-conscious oil and gas company that's committed to a sustainable future.

The Guardianreported Tuesday that the London-based fossil fuel giant has earmarked up to $7.5 billion for oil and gas projects for the coming year compared to $3-$5 billion set aside for so-called "low carbon" initiatives. BP has previously touted its "clean energy" inve...
