BP and Shell are not the same company.
I'm still not sure how that relates to your comment about Fotze's original post though. He's correct that both BP and Shell support Kyoto.
Here's an article about BP's stance:

Browne, who had managed the company's Alaska division for many years, became group chief executive in 1995. The following year, to the surprise of many environmentalists and oil industry analysts, BP resigned from the Global Climate Coalition, which ridiculed the science pointing to human induced climate change and sought to undermine the Kyoto treaty negotiations.
"The time to consider the policy dimensions of climate change is not when the link between greenhouse gases and climate change is conclusively proven, but when the possibility cannot be discounted and is taken seriously by the society of which we are part. We in BP have reached that point," Browne said. Subsequently the company moved to adopt internal greenhouse gas emission reduction targets.
