But hey we only figured it out ten years ago so no you can't sue us for misleading the public.
I originally wrote this being critical of some other energy companies, but the tone was too negative, so I decided to focus on the positive. I think we're starting to see some real growth and accountability develop. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JXTG_Nippon_Oil_%26_Energy Which doesn't say outright that Nippon Oil acknowledges human involvement, but their behavior is pretty indicative of their beliefs, if you ask me. There's a whole mess of Oil Companies out there, but sadly, most of them don't have detailed Wikipedia entries. It'd be really interesting to see who acknowledged what, when, and why, and what courses of action they have taken afterward. I'd like to hope that as more and more companies find the courage and integrity to embrace change, both in social expectations and technological changes, others will feel encouraged to follow suit.In 1997 BP became the first multinational outside the reinsurance industry to publicly support the scientific consensus on climate change, which Eileen Caussen, President of the Pew Center on Global Climate Change described as a transformative moment on the issue. Prior to 1997, BP was a member of the Global Climate Coalition an industry organisation established to promote global warming scepticism but withdrew in 1997, saying "the time to consider the policy dimensions of climate change is not when the link between greenhouse gases and climate change is conclusively proven, but when the possibility cannot be discounted and is taken seriously by the society of which we are part. We in BP have reached that point.".
In 2007 Nippon Oil was the recipient of the Nippon Keidanren Chairman’s Prize in recognition of its achievements in a number of areas. They were the first in the Japanese petroleum industry to achieve a zero emission status at their refineries. They are also developing fuel cell systems as well as producing and selling sulfur-free fuel. The Rang Dong Oil Field is also one of the biggest CO2 reduction projects in the world. The project utilizes associated gas produced along with crude oil for additional energy production.
