And while you’re at it, remember that BP was formerly named the Anglo Persian Oil Company, which held a commercial monopoly on the oil extraction of Iran. It was majority owned by the british government and served to funnel the oil wealth back to London. When Iran’s then democratically elected government wanted to nationalize the company, the UK and US fomented a coup in 1953 and installed a constitutional monarchy with a dictator Shah that would ally with the west. That’s why they have F-4 tomcats, and fun fact, he was the one who commissioned mercedes to create the G-Wagon. Eventually resentment against the government would lead to the Iranian revolution in 1979 and the hostage crisis which would create the conditions that lead to today.
Remember, the ‘carbon footprint’ metric was invented by British Petroleum’s PR team.
