Can a fossil fuel giant like BP be taken seriously that they want to make a green transition? CEO Bernard Looney told me to judge his company by their actions. "I'm not going to try to convince anybody by my words," he says. "You're going to have to judge by our actions."

With climate activists demanding action now, CEO of BP Bernard Looney says that he "gets it." When I pressed him on phasing out oil and gas, Looney admitted that fossil fuels will still exist in 2050 but said that "unless we transition, the world is not going to transition."
