Shell’s Profit “Slump” Still Produces Multi-Billion Dollar Payouts—Because Who Cares About the Planet When Investors Need a New Yacht?

In today’s episode of “Corporate Greed Knows No Bounds,” Shell—the gold standard of climate destruction—just announced a $3.5 billion stock buyback and a 4% dividend hike for its lucky investors. This, despite a so-called disappointing annual profit of a measly $23.7 billion—a figure that would make most companies pop champagne but apparently has Shell execs crying into their gold-plated handkerchiefs.

And who are the lucky fat cats cashing in? Oh, just the usual BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street, whose billions in holdings ensure that Shell keeps drilling, spilling, and billing the planet for the damage. read more

In yet another shocking display of corporate audacity, Shell—the world’s favorite environmental supervillain—just had its UK North Sea drilling permits for the Rosebank and Jackdaw fields ruled unlawful by the Scottish courts. But don’t pop the champagne just yet! Thanks to some legal gymnastics, Shell and its Norwegian sidekick, Equinor, can keep plowing ahead with their climate-wrecking projects while they “reapply” for permission. Because, obviously, rules don’t apply when you have BlackRock and Vanguard pouring billions into your destruction fund. read more

Shell Buys Another Fossil-Fueled Cash Machine While Pretending to Care About Decarbonization

Ah, yes, Shell—the benevolent, planet-loving, totally-not-greedy oil titan—has once again graced us with its unwavering commitment to not accelerating climate catastrophe. This time, the world’s favorite polluter has finalized its acquisition of a 609-megawatt (MW) combined-cycle gas turbine power plant in Rhode Island, because nothing screams energy transition like doubling down on fossil gas.

Shell Energy North America (SENA), a subsidiary of the oil-soaked giant, scooped up RISEC Holdings, LLC, thereby securing the plant’s two-unit gas-burning operations, which have been happily belching emissions since 2002. The plant, which serves the ISO New England market, will now conveniently feed into Shell’s existing empire of profits while the company continues its well-documented tradition of sprinkling a little greenwashing on top. read more

Ah, Shell—the tireless champion of corporate greed, environmental devastation, and boundless shareholder enrichment. As if anyone actually believed their half-hearted attempt at “renewables” meant anything more than a PR stunt, the oil giant has once again reaffirmed its true nature. The latest spectacle? The departure of Huibert Vigeveno, the so-called mastermind behind Shell’s Downstream, Renewables, and Energy Solutions. After 30 glorious years of serving Big Oil’s most ruthless player, Vigeveno is bailing, making way for another loyal corporate foot soldier: Machteld de Haan. read more

If you thought NGN was bad, just wait until you hear about Shell’s dirty tricks. While News Corp has been busy hacking phones, Shell has been spying on its own employees, critics and whistleblowers for decades.

By John Donovan: Posted 22 January 25]

Prince Harry just pulled off what many thought was impossible—forcing one of the most powerful media empires to admit to its illegal, underhanded, and downright disgusting tactics. After a relentless five-year legal battle, News Group Newspapers (NGN) has finally folded, coughing up a full and unequivocal apology for years of unlawful surveillance, phone hacking, and privacy violations that targeted not just the Duke of Sussex, but thousands of others.

And let’s not forget: this is the same media empire that repeatedly lied under oath, destroyed 30 million emails to obstruct justice, and engaged in a massive cover-up to protect its most senior executives, including Rebekah Brooks, who once had the audacity to claim that, “When I was editor of The Sun, we ran a clean ship.” Sure, and now, a decade later, that “clean ship” turns out to have been a full-fledged criminal enterprise. read more

What the fk is going on at BP?**

Murray Auchincloss, the latest placeholder in BP’s revolving door of CEOs, is heading for his judgment day. Investors are sharpening their knives, and on February 26, they might just gut his tenure like a sacrificial lamb. Why? Because unlike Shell—the ultimate sin stock, the Exxon of Europe, the undisputed king of greed—BP has been fumbling its way through an identity crisis. And investors? They’ve had enough of BP’s weak attempts at greenwashing when there’s good old-fashioned oil money to be made. read more

Ah, good old Shell, the absolute paragon of corporate virtue—if “virtue” means ruthlessly exploiting the planet, trampling workers, and bending over backwards to ensure its investors keep cashing in on destruction. And who might those investors be? Oh, just the likes of BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street—because nothing screams “commitment to sustainability” quite like stuffing their pockets with profits from an oil-slicked death spiral. read more

In the latest episode of “Corporate Giants Always Win,” New York City’s lawsuit against the holy trinity of environmental destruction—Exxon, BP, and Shell—was dismissed faster than you can say “greenwashing.” If you thought justice might take a stand against these polluting powerhouses, think again. Turns out, climate accountability in the U.S. courts is just a mirage, much like Shell’s commitment to renewable energy.

Shell and Big Oil Get Slapped Down by SCOTUS—But They’re Still Laughing All the Way to BlackRock

WASHINGTON — In a glorious twist of “are you kidding me?” news, the Supreme Court just refused to block a wave of climate lawsuits from California and other states—lawsuits that could demand billions of dollars in damages from the usual suspects, including everyone’s favorite polluting overlord, Shell. And guess what? They did it all without a single comment or dissent. That’s right: The highest court in the land just gave Big Oil the silent treatment.

Now, just to keep the drama alive, Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. refused to partake in this reality show—apparently because he owns stock in some of these carbon-spewing juggernauts. read more

Shell’s Gulf of Mexico “Whale”: Another Monument to Greed, Oil, and Environmental Hypocrisy

Shell, the planet’s favourite corporate villain, has done it again. This time, it’s the launch of their latest ecological affront: the Whale floating facility in the Gulf of Mexico. With a name like Whale, you might think they were saving marine life. Nope. Instead, they’re drilling for 100,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day while pretending this is just another day at the office. If there’s one thing Shell excels at, it’s making billions while destroying everything in its wake—and they’re bringing Chevron along for the ride read more

Shell Pops Namibia’s Oil Dream: “Uneconomic” Finds and the Usual Greed-First Spin

Shell, the corporate maestro of broken promises and environmental carnage, has graced us with yet another chapter in its saga of disappointment. This time, the scene is Namibia’s Orange Basin, where Shell’s much-hyped oil and gas discoveries have turned out to be—wait for it—uneconomic. But don’t worry, they’ll still keep sniffing around for more profit opportunities while the Namibian government watches its oil boom fantasies evaporate. Classic Shell

Shell’s Billion-Pound Sob Story: Lower Profits, Less Gas, and Renewables on the Chopping Block

Stop the presses: Shell, the planet’s favorite polluting powerhouse, has issued a profit warning. The oil and gas supermajor—famous for greenwashing, corporate greed, and a knack for ruining ecosystems—is bracing for a sharp decline in Q4 profits and gas production. Adding insult to injury (or irony to incompetence), the company is also swallowing a £1 billion charge in its renewables unit. Let’s dissect the trainwreck. read more

Shell’s Shaky Dutch Legacy: Earthquakes, Gas Drilling, and Wall Street Dreams

Ladies and gentlemen, Shell—the master of environmental destruction and corporate greed—is at it again. If you thought oil spills and greenwashing were the worst of it, let’s talk about how Shell’s decades-long obsession with extracting every last drop of gas from the Netherlands has literally shaken the earth

The Groningen Quakes: Shell’s Dirty Little Secret

The Netherlands experienced 47 earthquakes in 2024, according to the KNMI. Of those, 40 were caused by gas extraction, primarily from the infamous Groningen gas field—a site that’s been synonymous with human-induced seismic activity for years. Natural disasters? Think again. These are Shell-made quakes, brought to you by their relentless gas drilling. read more

Shell, the global poster child for corporate greed and environmental destruction, is back at it—doubling down on liquefied natural gas (LNG) while insisting it’s all part of their plan to save the planet. Spoiler: It’s not. The oil giant’s latest quarterly woes and shareholder revolts have laid bare the contradictions at the heart of its business strategy, exposing a company more committed to profits than its much-touted net-zero promises

Shell and BP Reunification: A Match Made in Environmental Hell?

This merger could create a single, “politically palatable” British oil powerhouse, bringing the two firms under one toxic roof again, as they were back in the day of Shell-Mex & BP Limited. Let’s not kid ourselves: combining two sin stocks doesn’t create a virtuous company—it creates a bigger monster.

Well, well, well. The idea of Shell and BP reuniting like long-lost toxic lovers to form a single “British champion” has emerged again, and honestly, what could possibly go wrong? Let’s take a moment to bask in the absurdity of these two oil-soaked giants coming together, as if their combined history of greed, destruction, and shady dealings weren’t already jaw-dropping enough.

BP: The Soggy “Takeover Target”

BP, described as an “absolute dog” by *Oliver Shah, has been floundering ever since it made some laughably “overly ambitious” green commitments during COVID. Then there was the messy exit of CEO Bernard Looney, which left BP as rudderless as one of its oil-drenched ships in the Gulf of Mexico. The new CEO, Murray Auchincloss, is doing some light tidying, like offloading offshore wind assets to a Japanese joint venture. But let’s be real: nothing short of a PR miracle or massive corporate overhaul will revive BP’s limp share price. read more
