BP 'LAUGHING THEIR WAY TO THE BANK' SICKENING

ENERGY giant BP has been branded obscene” after posting record-breaking 23 billion profits last year while also scaling back its climate goals.

Green groups hit out as BP announced watered-down eco targets for 2030 due to plans to plough nearly 1billion a year more into fossil fuel projects than previously thought.

The oil and gas behemoth revealed profits in 2022 had more than doubled to 23 billion the biggest windfall in the company’s 114-year history.

Eco campaigners said the bumper earnings were “sickening” as people in Scotland struggle with bills and the cost of living crisis.

It comes amid runaway energy prices sparked by the war in Ukraine and follows rival Shell last week announcing a staggering 33 billion in profits.
