the public, to redesign BP's logo to better reflect the company's operations
abroad.

Ever wondered what this ocean acidification thing is? Wonder no longer, as this new animation from our international office explains everything you need to know in just over a minute.
The basic upshot is that climate change is not just making the oceans warmer, it's also making them more acidic. It's only by a relatively small amount so you won't lose your toes if you go paddling, but the effects on the ocean's chemistry is dramatic. Most widely reported is the threat this poses to coral reefs - as the water becomes more acidic, the polyps aren't able to create the calcium carbonate skeletons which form the reefs.
The consequences travel up the food chain - watch the video to find out more.

headed to Downing Street today to present the new Prime Minister with a
legal Deed of Trust containing the names of over 90,000 people who jointly own a
plot of land at the centre of the proposed Heathrow runway development, and to
thank David Cameron and Nick Clegg for agreeing to officially scrap the planned
expansion.
As I write, the eventual outcome of the
general election is still in the balance and with parliament well and truly
hung (although I prefer the less pejorative phrase 'balanced parliament'), it's
anyone's guess as to who will actually form a government. But it's clear that
the Lib Dems are going to have a major influence on whatever form that
government eventually takes.
