In its first sustainability report since last summer’s clusterfuck in the Gulf, BP actually has the balls to claim that it spilled less oil in 2010 than it did in 2006 and 2008. How? Why? Well, I explain, or at least try to, how and why here: According to a message from the company in the report’s fine print, “no accurate determination” of the extent of the disaster has been made to date. The survey goes on to note that the company decided to omit that embarrassing incident in the Gulf “due to our reluctance to report data that has such a high degree of uncertainty.” So they merely chose not to factor in the biggest offshore oil spill in American history. Yeah. And today the company announced that one of its employees “lost” a laptop containing the spill relief claim info of 13,000 people. Same shit, different day.
