They Say

The advice is that, if you find yourself in a hole, you should stop digging. There is a rather pessimistic account of perceived 'greenwashing' by the oil and gas giant BP (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/feb/14/oil-execs-environmentalists-bp-change-oil-climate). The claim of their new executive is that the company 'gets' the climate change fears and will move to a net zero carbon footprint by 2050. Much of the pessimism is generated by the emphasis on the word 'net', the proposed timescale and the fact that there appears to be no sign of the company stopping digging (drilling for oil and gas).
