"This isn’t really about BP: it’s about capitalism at large, and its inability to respond to the climate crisis in the manner we need."

"In short, the problem is not BP or indeed any other individual company. The problem is that BP and its fossil-fuel peers operate within a system that *requires* them to invest and operate in ways that are deleterious to the environment."
