What the f**k 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

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

Oh, Shell. The planet’s favourite oil-slicked villain has once again shown us just how committed it is to “cleaner mobility” (wink wink). In a move that’s equal parts farcical and revealing, Shell Recharge Solutions is throwing its charging business into a blender—shutting down software services, offloading responsibilities, and pretending it’s all part of some grand strategy for a greener future. What’s really happening? Let’s dive into the shameless absurdity read more

In the grand theater of “profit before planet,” Shell—the poster child for greed, pollution, and shameless hypocrisy—has outdone itself. Once strutting around with lofty promises of becoming a world leader in clean energy, Shell has now quietly tossed its renewable ambitions into the trash can, along with any pretense of caring about the climate crisis. Instead, it’s all about fattening profits with oil and gas, the dirtiest of dirty fuels.

Shell Uses AI to Save the Planet (While Continuing to Destroy It): A Masterclass in Hypocrisy

Step right up, folks, and witness the miraculous transformation of Shell Plc—the fossil fuel giant with a century-long legacy of plundering the planet—into a self-proclaimed champion of clean energy and AI innovation. Yes, Shell, the company that has spilt more oil than most countries produce, now wants you to believe it’s harnessing artificial intelligence to save the world. What’s next? Big Tobacco solving lung cancer?

According to Shell’s VP of Digital Innovation, Dan Jeavons, “AI is not a silver bullet, but it is a tool that can help us accelerate energy transition and reduce CO2 emissions.” Oh, Dan, how quaint. Shell has spent decades perfecting the art of PR spin, and this is a gem: “reduce CO2 emissions” from the company that’s one of the largest carbon polluters on the planet. Bravo. read more

Shell: Because One Billion Barrels of Nigerian Oil Just Wasn’t Enough

Ah, Shell. The gift that keeps on giving… to its shareholders, at least. The planet? Local communities? Nigeria’s long-suffering environment? Oh, they’ll just have to suck it up—quite literally—because Shell’s back at it again with its shiny new toy: the Bonga North Oil Project.

That’s right, folks. Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Co. Ltd. (SNEPCo)—Shell’s lovingly ruthless Nigerian arm—has given the go-ahead to drill, baby, drill in deep waters off Nigeria’s coast. Because when you’ve already sucked one billion barrels of oil out of a single deepwater field, you naturally look around and think, “What’s next? More barrels, obviously.” read more

WTF Shell? Pennsylvania Sacrificed on the Altar of Plastic Profits

Welcome to Monaca, Pennsylvania, where Shell has transformed an idyllic community into a 386-acre homage to pollution, hypocrisy, and “economic revitalization.” Step right up, folks, and marvel at the Shell Pennsylvania Petrochemicals Complex—a modern-day marvel that takes fracked gas, cracks it, and pumps out plastic pellets and pollution like it’s 2023’s hottest trend. Because who needs breathable air or drinkable water when you can have millions of tons of plastic?

Let’s meet Nadine Luci, a local resident turned involuntary test subject for Shell’s experiment in corporate gaslighting. She lives just two miles from the facility but practically needs a hazmat suit to step outside. “I have to live in a cocoon,” says Nadine, as she surveys the syrupy stench of corporate greed wafting through her town. Her tap water smells like dead fish, but it’s okay, because Shell generously provides… scholarships? Basketball courts? It’s like offering Band-Aids at a massacre. read more

Hold onto your wallets (and your lungs), because Shell—yes, that Shell, the oil-stained paragon of planetary indifference—is hosting an investor day in March. This move, helmed by their ever-diligent CEO Wael Sawan, promises to unleash a dazzling spectacle of cost cuts, greenwashing, and a strategic U-turn toward pumping more oil and gas. Because if the world is burning, Shell figures it might as well fan the flames with some premium-grade crude.

Greedy Oil Giant Shell Settles Greenpeace Lawsuit

Oh, Shell. The darling of sin stocks, the poster child for ruthless profiteering, environmental destruction, and apparently, public intimidation. In a move that screams look at us pretending to care, Shell has settled its $2.1 million lawsuit against Greenpeace. The crime? Greenpeace activists dared to peacefully board one of Shell’s oil rigs last year to protest its relentless climate destruction.

For all its legal muscle, Shell walked away with no damages. Not a dime. Instead, Greenpeace agreed to donate £300,000 to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI)—a charity that actually saves lives, unlike Shell, which is busy plundering and destroying the planet. read more

In the latest jaw-dropping display of corporate dominance, the fossil fuel behemoth managed to wiggle out of a Dutch court ruling that once dared—dared!—to ask the company to clean up a fraction of its catastrophic mess. The court’s demand? A 45% reduction in emissions by 2030. Shell’s response? “Nah, we’ll pass, thanks.” And now, thanks to a Hague appeals court overturning that pesky ruling, they can keep on keeping on. Cue the applause from major shareholders like BlackRock, because who needs a livable planet when profits are this juicy? read more

In the latest episode of Corporate Malfeasance: Climate Edition, Shell—everyone’s favorite destroyer of worlds—is backing away from offshore wind investments because, well, it’s just not profitable enough for their bottomless greed. CEO Wael Sawan, apparently inspired by Scrooge McDuck, has decided that low-carbon energy isn’t where the money is. Oil, gas, and biofuels? Jackpot! Saving the planet? Meh, let someone else take the loss.

WTF Shell? The Oil Giant’s New Motto: Screw the Planet, Show Me the Money

In a breathtaking display of corporate greed dressed up as “strategic review,” Shell—the world’s favourite villain in the game of Destroy the Planet for Profit—has decided it’s no longer interested in leading the transition to clean energy. Why? Because it turns out offshore wind doesn’t print money fast enough for CEO Wael Sawan, whose vision for the future seems to be a fossil-fueled inferno of record profits.

Let’s break this down. Shell, once pretending to dabble in saving the planet with its renewable energy division, is now gutting it for parts. Shell Energy—the division responsible for renewables, power generation, and supply—is being hacked into two Frankenstein-like units: power generation and trading. Because, hey, why bother with innovation when you can shuffle papers and call it a strategy? read more

Shell: The Courtroom Climate Circus Rolls On – Now Featuring Half-Hearted Accountability and Smug Oil Barons

Well, well, well. Shell, the corporate titan of greenhouse gas glory, has scored a sort-of win in its ongoing climate case. The Dutch Court of Appeal recently ruled that the oil giant doesn’t have to cut its CO₂ emissions by 45% by 2030. Why? Because apparently, it’s too hard to impose such a “burden” on a company whose entire business model is drilling us toward planetary doom. Congratulations, Shell! You’ve temporarily dodged responsibility while the Earth keeps simmering. Pop champagne—or, in your case, crude oil. read more

Oh, look, Shell is back with its latest masterpiece: a shiny new ad that tries to convince us it’s saving the planet while still making most of its money destroying it. Spoiler alert: nobody’s buying it—except maybe Shell’s biggest investors, like BlackRock and Vanguard, who are probably chuckling from their ivory towers.

In the UK, over 70 complaints have been filed with the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), calling out Shell’s brazen attempt at greenwashing. The ad, created by VML and promoted by Havas, paints Shell as a corporate Mother Teresa. It gushes about their investments in electric vehicle chargers and natural gas (because that’s so green, right?) while quietly glossing over the fact that Shell’s primary business is—you guessed it—oil and gas. read more

Shell—ever the champion of profit at any cost, and now throwing a tantrum because their latest LNG scheme didn’t quite go as planned. In a plot twist that’s dripping with irony, Shell, the ruthless polluter with an insatiable hunger for cash, is dragging Venture Global into arbitration over undelivered liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the Calcasieu Pass facility. Brace yourselves: the oil behemoth is upset it didn’t get to rake in even more billions. Yes, billions. Cry us a river, Wael Sawan. read more
