No need to wonder
It's been obvious for years that British Petroleum was solidly on the side of the Carbon Cult, and I've been operating on the assumption that they were simply following normal corporate procedure. Modern corporations hate business. They hate all the dirt and trouble involved with honestly making
things, so they try with all their might to get out of honest business and into criminal endeavors like Ponzi schemes and derivatives.
Still, I've been somewhat puzzled in this specific case, because it seems that BP was making very good profits in the business of producing actual physical petroleum. The criminal endeavor of Carbon Credits might be easier and less prone to lawsuits, but at the moment it's nowhere near as profitable.
Now we know the
rest of the story, and it makes more sense than the pure-profit explanation.
During the time when BP was aggressively "going green", lavishly funding the Carbon Cult, its chairman was Lord Browne of Madingley .....
Lord Browne, who resigned as BP chairman in 2007 after being caught lying to a court about his relationship with Canadian boyfriend Jeff Chevalier, is renowned for cultivating senior politicians.
Same old story. The Left loves to blackmail "conservative" politicians who are secret homosexuals, and the "conservative" parties continue to oblige the Left by choosing lots of secret homosexuals who are easy to blackmail.
= = = = =
Sidenote: Why do homosexual politicians have to choose boyfriends with such cliché names? Jeff Chevalier? Not quite as bad as Beau Breedlove, the boyfriend of Portland's gayor Sam Adams ... but still, you'd think upper-class types would go for a bit more subtlety. After all, heterosexual politicians don't get caught with girlfriends like Bambi Bazooms or Sugar Silvercups.
