If future generations ask me how it was possible that we sacrificed future and present living conditions for humanity and life on earth as we know it, I will show them this article.

"BP is planning to drill for fossil gas on the edge of the world’s largest cold-water coral reef."
I guess this is the latest addition to the UK's "Green Industrial Revolution" and "Build Back Better" campaigns.
