We’ve installed our first ultra-fast #electricvehicle charger in the #UK – part of @BPChargemaster’s growing network. Another example of why at BP, it’s #NotBusinessAsUsual

This will take time & investment - & we are investing heavily. Have a look at our Advancing Low Carbon programme to see the 50+ low carbon technologies & businesses we're investing in this year alone http://on.bp.com/ALC
BP says it "will take time & investment" to move toward renewable energy. This is dangerous and misguided. Why? – Physics has already set the timeline for us. We're out of time. – Climate delaying is the new climate denying. If we go at BP's pace we'll face catastrophic warming

Not sure it’s misguided It’s just a fact. And it’s not BPs pace it’s societal. Sadly we are not going to wean the huge population growth off hydrocarbons anytime soon. That growth needs cheap reliable sources of energy.

If we don't do this, we will put hundreds of millions of lives at risk (possibly more), unravel our institutions and economy. We could also set off tipping points causing irreversible warming. Many futures are still open to us at this point, based on our actions & decisions now.

Also didn’t they know about this, like, 30 years ago? Times up!

Yes, BP your words ring hollow when in 1989 (!) you coordinated with Shell and Exxon "to cast doubt on climate science and lobby against efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions." We had time. Instead, you used it to make an obscene amount of money.https://www.climateliabilitynews.org/2018/04/05/climate-change-oil-companies-knew-shell-exxon/ …

We already have all the technology we need (and investment will lead to more investment and better tech). We just need to bloody do it. Of course it's not simple but it's a lot simpler than dealing with an uninhabitable planet.
