Gem of the day

Greenbiz today has a lively review of BP shareholders' decision to 'vote no on oil sands transparency'. Great headline.

Anyway, what stuck out most was the last paragraph:

"BP was recently ranked as the most sustainable big oil company by Two Tomorrows, which gave it a score of 59 percent out of 100."

Well there's a nice laugh--'most sustainable big oil company'. Why do these organizations even bother with that kind of ranking? But it gets better in the next paragraph:

"BP was also one of three companies to leave the U.S. Climate Action Partnership this year, but maintained that it was leaving only to change its approach to U.S. climate policy, not its stance on climate change."

Awkward.
