BP not only funded the research behind the influential “Wedges” climate science paper, but company execs even tried to revise versions of it. “Chaps, I have had a go at rewriting the paper,” a BP climate adviser wrote the researchers at one point.

Pioneering photojournalist Margaret Bourke-White was born #OTD in 1904. * 1st American female war #photojournalist * 1st staff photographer at Fortune magazine * 1st female photojournalist at LIFE & its first-ever cover photo was hers Pic: 61st floor of the Chrysler Building, NYC #photography
In a striking black-and-white photograph of historical significance, pioneering American photojournalist Margaret Bourke-White (1904–1971) is captured in a daring pose on the 61st floor of the Chrysler Building in New York City. Crouched on a massive, art deco chrome eagle gargoyle protruding over the urban abyss, her expression is one of intense focus. She wears a dark beret, a buttoned tailored jacket, and light trousers, completely absorbed in operating her large, boxy bellows camera. Her body bridges the mechanical gargoyle and the tower's metallic rim, showcasing her fearless reputation as the first female war correspondent and LIFE magazine's inaugural cover photographer. Far below, the hazy, snow-dusted skyscrapers of 1930 Manhattan recede into a dense gray fog, creating a high-contrast composition. The dramatic perspective underscores a dizzying sense of height and verticality, casting a courageous, adventurous mood that epitomizes the soaring ambitions of early 20th-century industrial America.
