BP would not have lost any green credentials when leaving the Global Climate Coalition. On the contrary this group was one of the foremost detractors of the IPCC and the science around climate change. BP enhanced it's position by leaving the group, which eventually folded. Here is an extract from Wikipedia...The Global Climate Coalition was a group of mainly United States businesses opposing immediate action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The group formed in 1989 as a response to several reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. A major scientific report on the severity of global warming by the IPCC in 2001 led to large-scale membership loss.[citation needed] Since 2002 the GCC has been dormant, or in its own words, "deactivated".
