Carbon Capture

As Shell faces fresh investor pressure over its fossil-fuel-heavy future, shareholders still mostly backed the board. Because apparently nothing says “responsible capitalism” quite like applauding the oil-and-gas machine while asking whether it might someday notice the planet is on fire.

PART ONE: FACT-BASED TABLOID DEEP DIVE

SHELL UNDER FIRE — BUT THE INVESTOR ROMANCE CONTINUES

Shell has once again performed its favourite corporate magic trick: standing in the middle of a climate controversy while keeping enough investors sweet with the soothing lullaby of dividends, buybacks, and fossil-fuel confidence.

The latest Yahoo Finance report says Shell is “under fire” as some investors remain uneasy about the company’s long-term vision — specifically whether a strategy still leaning heavily on oil and gas can survive the global transition towards cleaner energy. The immediate flashpoint was Shell’s 2026 annual general meeting in London, where climate-minded investors tried to force the company to explain how it would create shareholder value if oil and gas demand falls. read more

🔥 THE HAGUE STRIKES BACK: SHELL’S CLIMATE CASE RETURNS LIKE A BAD SMELL FROM THE REFINERY

There are courtroom dramas, and then there is Shell’s Dutch climate saga: a long-running legal opera in which Europe’s biggest oil and gas company is dragged back before the judges while insisting, with the solemn dignity of a man standing beside a smoking barbecue, that forcing it to cut emissions would be terribly unhelpful. read more

“SUE US IF YOU CAN!”: Shell’s Climate Lawsuit Playbook: Deny, Delay… and Definitely Don’t Panic

⚖️ BIG OIL’S NEW FAVOURITE GENRE: THE SELF-DEFENCE FAQ

When most companies face a wave of lawsuits, they lawyer up quietly.

Shell?

It publishes a helpful online guide explaining why it’s being sued—and why, essentially, none of it is really its fault.

👉 Read Shell’s own version here

Think of it as:

“Climate Litigation: Frequently Asked Questions (By the Defendant)”

🌍 THE CORE DEFENCE: “IT’S EVERYONE’S PROBLEM”

Shell’s central line is elegant—and extremely useful:

Climate change is a global issue requiring “system-wide action.”

Translation:

“Why are you singling us out?”

It’s a clever pivot. read more

Shell’s Christmas Gift to the Philippines: Typhoon, Then a Shrug

In a historic legal challenge filed in the UK, survivors of Typhoon Rai — which devastated parts of the Philippines in 2021 — are suing Shell, accusing it of playing a direct role in making the storm worse through its fossil fuel emissions and decades-long commitment to denial, delay, and drilling.

Shell’s response? A firm, well-lubricated “Not it!”

“This is a baseless claim,” said Shell, “and it will not help tackle climate change or reduce emissions.” read more

🧠 Lessons in “Climate Solutions” — Courtesy of Oil Money

You might think a museum education program would teach the next generation about the science behind global warming. But the version sponsored by Shell? Kids learn that climate change is this nebulous Monster creeping out of the sky — and also get to invent their own carbon‑sucking machines, like that’ll fix everything.

The learning materials distributed through Queensland Museum supposedly hit the national curriculum goals. But — surprise — they leave out the one inconvenient fact: burning fossil fuels (hello, oil and gas) is the main driver of greenhouse gases and damage to the climate. read more

Shell has once again demonstrated its unwavering commitment to the principle that matters most to it: maximize returns now and allow consequences to remain someone else’s problem later.

According to Reuters, Shell reported third-quarter adjusted earnings of $5.4 billion, exceeding market expectations:

“Shell reported third-quarter adjusted earnings of $5.4 billion.”

— Reuters, 30 Oct 2025

Immediately following those earnings, MSN reported that Shell launched another $3.5 billion share buyback:

Here’s the latest on Shell plc’s plan to move its listing to New York — with an investigative, critical lens.

By John Donovan (with AI collaboration)

21 October 2025

When a corporate behemoth begins to flirt with another stock exchange, the romance is rarely innocent. Shell plc — once Royal Dutch Shell plc, before dropping the “Dutch” as neatly as a discarded partner — is now openly courting Wall Street.

The CEO, Wael Sawan, has been muttering about “value gaps” and “unlocking potential,” code for what London traders hear as: we’re tired of being undervalued in a city that drinks warm beer instead of crude profits. read more

Emotional Damages? Yes, But Only After 7 Years of Tremors: When the Ground Shakes: Shell’s Quaking Legacy in Groningen

In a move that feels more like a confession than generosity, NAM — the Shell–ExxonMobil joint venture behind the Groningen gas field — has agreed to pay out €5,000 to €222,000 to over 5,000 residents for emotional distress and “loss of enjoyment” tied to years of gas-induced earthquakes.

That’s on top of the yet-to-be-resolved claims for physical damages to houses (some 120,000 households), which remain in legal limbo.

As lawyer Pieter Huitema put it:

“It’s great to achieve such a result for such a large group. We spent about two years at the negotiating table, but the result is something to be proud of.” read more

Wael Sawan reassures Wall Street that Shell’s morally bankrupt business model is working just great—no passport change needed.

Stop the presses! Shell, the planet-roasting oil baron, will not be moving its listing to the U.S. any time soon—because why mess with a system that’s already coughing up billions in buybacks while the world burns?

CEO Wael Sawan, delivering his signature “we care about shareholder value, not carbon footprints” charm, went on CNBC’s Squawk Box Europe this week to calm Wall Street’s eager little hearts. Despite previous hints that Shell might chase “the bright lights of New York,” Sawan has now confirmed that, no, this isn’t a “live discussion.” Translation: they’re already making a killing on the FTSE—why relocate when the cash faucet is flowing? read more

HELLFIRE MERGER: When Shell Meets BP, the Planet Burns

Is it a match made in heaven or a merger forged in the flaming pits of fossil-fuel hell?

Shell and BP—Britain’s beloved petro-behemoths—are flirting with a union so unholy it could make even Beelzebub blink. Bloomberg’s whispers and spreadsheets are in overdrive, but let’s cut the polite analyst drivel: this isn’t about synergy—it’s about greed, greenwashing, and grabbing the last oily dollars before the planet croaks.

“Greenwashing Since 1907,” reads the headline in our accompanying cartoon (see above), and we mean it. Shell and BP have been gaslighting the public longer than most countries have had electricity. And now, they’re pondering a mega-merger that could hand them even more power to pollute, profiteer, and pretend they’re helping the planet. read more

Where BlackRock backs black gold and Shell defends the indefensible

It’s hard not to marvel at the consistency of Shell—an oil giant so committed to profit that not even the planet’s impending collapse can distract it. Hot on the (carbon) heels of its courtroom wrangles, Shell is now facing yet another lawsuit from Dutch climate group Milieudefensie. Why? Because Shell’s idea of a “transition” plan looks suspiciously like business as usual—only with more oil, more gas, and a side of PR greenwash. read more

Well, well, well. Would you look at that. ExxonMobil — yes, that Exxon — is now strutting around like Greta Thunberg in an oil-stained tuxedo, about to overtake Shell and BP in so-called “low-carbon spending.” You know, the same Exxon that used to sneer at clean energy as a “beauty contest”? Suddenly it’s front row in the pageant.

According to investment guidance from six Western oil majors, Exxon now plans to splash out $30 billion on “low emissions opportunities” by 2030. That’s up from a humble $3 billion plan in 2021. Because apparently, all it takes is a PR makeover, some hydrogen buzzwords, and a boatload of government subsidies to turn one of the planet’s biggest polluters into an environmental pioneer. read more

Good news, everyone! Shell, the planet-wrecking oil behemoth, has graciously gifted us with yet another “energy outlook”, packed with self-serving nonsense, climate denial wrapped in techno-optimism, and a laughably convenient role for fossil fuels lasting well into the next century.

The latest gem from Shell Plc’s team of well-compensated corporate scientists, economists, and PR strategists claims that AI will revolutionize the energy system, helping the world decarbonize while—surprise!—maintaining a strong demand for oil and gas for decades to come. read more

Shell CEO Wael Sawan Reminds Us That Profit Trumps the Planet—Again

Posted by John Donovan: 6 Feb 25

In a stunning display of corporate cynicism, Shell CEO Wael Sawan has casually dismissed the idea that sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) could revolutionize air travel’s carbon footprint. Because, of course, the oil giant that has spent decades profiting off planetary destruction wants us to believe that anything remotely green is just too expensive and impractical.

Last week, UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves hailed SAF as a “game-changer” for aviation’s carbon emissions, backing a third runway at Heathrow and claiming airlines could be using the fuel by 2035. But Sawan, ever the champion of fossil fuel supremacy, scoffed at the notion. “The reality is that SAF is more expensive and therefore unless there are mandates — obligations on either customers or airlines — it is difficult to see a penetration that is going to be massive,” he told The Times. Translation: Shell won’t make the switch unless governments force them to, because why would they voluntarily embrace a cleaner future when there’s still so much oil money to be made? read more

A Masterclass in Dodging Climate Accountability

Posted by John Donovan: 6 Feb 25

In an absolutely shocking turn of events (read: completely expected corporate fuckery), Shell has successfully weaseled its way out of a court-ordered mandate to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 45% by 2030. Yes, you read that right—the Hague Court of Appeal just handed down a judgment on November 12, 2024, that reverses the original ruling, meaning Shell and its lovely band of polluters get to continue business as usual. Oh, and to rub salt into the wound, the claimants—led by Dutch environmental activist group Vereniging Milieudefensie—now have to pay Shell’s legal costs. Because why shouldn’t an oil behemoth worth hundreds of billions shake down environmentalists for cash? read more

Shell Throws Offshore Wind Overboard: Because Who Needs a Planet Anyway?

In a move that surprises absolutely no one, Shell—the benevolent overlords of oil spills and carbon emissions—has decided to ghost a major offshore wind project off the coast of New Jersey. Yes, the same Shell that rakes in billions poisoning the planet has decided clean energy isn’t worth the hassle. Shocking, right?

According to Shell, they’re ditching the Atlantic Shores project due to “increased competition, delays, and a changing market.” But wait, there’s more! Spokesperson Natalie Gunnell generously added, “Naturally we also take regulatory context into consideration.” Translation: “Trump made it easier to keep drilling, so why bother saving the Earth?” read more
