BP's recent shift away from its environmental commitments, prompted by shareholder pressure from Elliott Management, underscores the larger issue of capitalism's struggle to address climate concerns. The company's return to focusing on oil and gas—more profitable than renewable energy—illustrates the coercive nature of market competition that forces firms to prioritize profits, as highlighted by Karl Marx. This reality demonstrates that the challenges we face in the environmental sector are systemic, rooted not just in corporate greed but in capitalism’s structural incentives.
