I can understand why this would deter companies from advertising their environmental initiatives, but it kinda sad (though entirely expected) that it turns out they were only doing for the good PR. Guess this means we need to start introducing some environmental legislation with teeth.

Is that the low-emissions one that bad actors keep pretending is a “production cap”, despite oil production currently being higher then ever?

This is not intended to disparage you, OP.
Fuck every CEO, and every fucking lie that comes out of their stupid shit dripping mouths.
If a CEO complains about something, I immediately think that I will probably support that thing.

Not just for good PR - they are also using creative accounting to claim “green” initiatives (and the incentives/tax reductions that come with them) without actually doing anything beneficial to the environment. Fucking leeches…

If we’re no longer allowed to lie and cheat, then we won’t play.
Next step would be to tax the ever living shit out of companies that don’t want to save the planet.
