Tell BP: switch to 100% renewable energy - or shut down!

The climate emergency is causing more frequent fires and floods, destroying ecosystems and wreaking havoc on people’s lives. By burning fossil fuels like oil and gas, companies like BP have got us into this mess - and they have plans that will make this crisis even worse.

BP already have more fossil fuels on their books than we can afford to burn if we’re to avoid total climate breakdown. But unbelievably, they’re planning to spend $71 billion digging up new oil and gas on top of that over the next ten years.

BP need to stop pushing the climate to breaking point. To do that they must immediately stop digging for new oil and gas and then stop being an oil company altogether!

Thousands of people are tweeting at BP urging them to go 100% renewable - or shut down. Join in to help ramp up the pressure!

We’re in a #climateemergency @bp_plc! Stop drilling for new oil and gas and show us your plan to switch to 100% renewable energy! #bpshutdown

I heard you’re spending $71 billion digging up new oil and gas @bp_plc. How can you justify that when you know it will only fuel the #climateemergency? It’s time to switch to 100% renewable energy or shut down! #bpshutdown

Our house is on fire and BP want to pour petrol on the flames. Instead of drilling for new oil and gas, you need to release a plan to switch to 100% renewable energy @bp_plc. If you can’t do that, it’s time to shut up shop completely! #climateemergency #bpshutdown

BP already have more fossil fuels on their books than the planet can afford for them to burn. But they’re planning to spend $71billion digging up new oil & gas on top of that! You need to stop this now & then become a renewable energy company @bp_plc #climateemergency #bpshutdown

If @bp_plc dig up as much oil & gas as they intend to over the next 10 years it will mean more frequent & even more severe climate disasters like the Australian bushfires. To tackle the #climateemergency BP need to switch to 100% renewable energy - or shut down. #bpshutdown
