BP America is also leaving the U.S. Climate Action Partnership. A spokesman said the oil company, like ConocoPhillips, will not renew its membership in the coalition of corporations and environmental groups pushing Congress to approve cap-and-trade legislation.
Spokesman Tom Mueller said BP informed USCAP today of its decision. Another BP spokesman, Ronnie Chappell, said USCAP "has accomplished the work that we thought important when we joined, which was the establishment of a principles-based framework for shaping climate change legislation."
"We think that the [USCAP] blueprint for legislative action is a great piece of work, and we continue to support climate change legislation that conforms to the blueprint," he said.
“We don’t believe that legislation pending in the Congress meets that standard yet, and we have concluded that as the climate change discussion goes forward and as the proposals become more specific, we can become more effective if we show up at that discussion as BP,” he added.
Staying in the “partnership” would make us much sense as Spike Lee staying in the KKK.
The former crew of the United Nations Ship AGW are jumping overboard as fast as they can.
I love it. Cue the “Tower of Sauron:” collapsing .gif. Only put Al Gore-icle as the eye. The hoax is crashing down!!!!!
Mankind owes the East Anglia whistle-blowers an enormous debt.
That is an understatement. Those folks are responsible for derailing one of the biggest and most expensive frauds in human history.
The DEMRAT LEADERS knew it was a Massive Fraud!! and they pushed it anyway to Destroy AMERICA! and Line their Pockets with GOLD!! Ralph Nader, upon exiting his Infamous meeting with Candidate LURCH (Vietnam Hero) KERRY in 2004, stated “NOW I KNOW THE DEMORAT PARTY IS CORRUPTED AND DECAYED TO THE VERY TOP OFIT’S LEADERSHIP!!” Friends, in this case, Ralph Nader was 1000% CORRECT!!
All of the big corporations who bought into the "green" revolution now have a financial stake in it. Therefore, they have committed strategically to market their stuff as green friendly at least until the stockpiles are depleted.
