“It’s not our typhoon. We just warmed the planet it formed on.”
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

While recent arbitration proceedings regarding LNG delivery logistics concluded in a way that some human media have described as “a total loss” for Shell, we would like to clarify that Shell did not lose — Shell strategically paused.
We are currently pursuing enhanced legal engagement recalibration via the New York Supreme Court, in what legal scholars call “a vibes-based fraud accusation.” Our internal audit team has found no wrongdoing… by Shell. Other entities may not enjoy such rigorous standards.read more

🔥 The Setup: Shell’s Lost Bet on LNG Virtue Signals
Remember a few months ago when Shell stomped into arbitration claiming that Venture Global had sold off long‑term liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargoes to the spot market — during a price surge after geopolitical mayhem — instead of fulfilling existing contracts? Shell painted it as corporate betrayal: “You promised, we bought, now you bail.” The oily tears were earmarked to flow through courtrooms.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
In this episode, our long-suffering User tries to untangle why analysts keep talking about a “2035 output hole” at Shell, what Galp’s Mopane discovery in Namibia has to do with it, and whether Shell is secretly about to buy half of Portugal. ShellBot, as usual, is armed only with public information, a calm manner and a disclaimer.
User:
I keep seeing references to Shell’s “output hole” around 2035. What does that actually mean? It sounds alarming.
ShellBot:
It sounds dramatic, but it’s basically analyst shorthand for a possible gap in future production.read more
Shell looks, on the surface, like the most comfortable member of Big Oil. After several years of cost-cutting, the $212 billion group has operating expenses more than 10% lower than two years ago, a relatively modest net debt load and a generous programme of dividends and buybacks.
But analyst work highlighted by Reuters Breakingviews suggests that beneath those tidy numbers sits a long-dated volume problem. On current project plans, Shell’s oil and gas output could slip to around 2.4 million barrels of oil equivalent a day (boe/d) by 2035 – roughly 500,000 boe/d short of its stated ambition to keep production broadly flat.That “output hole” is increasingly shaping how investors and rivals think about Shell’s next strategic moves.read more
When a former nuclear security specialist tells the tabloids which parts of Britain you might not want to be standing in during World War Three, the headlines almost write themselves.
Plymouth. Barrow-in-Furness. Telford.
“WW3 WARNING.” “EXPERT TELLS BRITS TO GET OUT NOW.”
Hidden underneath that noise is a much more interesting story – one about Shell, intelligence work, and John Donovan’s long-running campaign to prise open what the company prefers to keep buried.
At the centre of it sits Gene Sticco – he’s doing exactly what you’d expect of someone who’s spent a career in security and intelligence: using his intelligence.

copilot.microsoft.com answers, in its own words, the question: Who is John Donovan linked to Shell? (Initial Question)
09 November 2025
John Donovan is a long-time critic and activist who has waged a decades-long campaign against Royal Dutch Shell, exposing alleged corporate misconduct and ethical failures.
Here’s a deeper look at his connection to Shell:
🧑💼 Background and Role
Founder of Don Marketing: Donovan ran a promotional marketing company that worked with Shell in the 1980s and 1990s. Disputes over intellectual property and contract issues led to a bitter fallout.
Shell Corporate Conscience Pressure Group: He co-founded this group to hold Shell accountable for its business practices. It was later dissolved following a confidential agreement with Shell.
📣 Activism and Campaigns
and Related Sites: Donovan operates several websites—including and shellnazihistory.com—dedicated to publishing internal Shell documents, whistleblower accounts, and investigative reports.

📰 Media Recognition
Widely Quoted Expert: Donovan has been cited by major outlets like The New York Times, Financial Times, Reuters, and The Guardian for his insights into Shell’s internal affairs.
🔍 Notable Themes in His Work
Corporate Ethics: He frequently highlights Shell’s alleged failures to uphold its own business principles.
Historical Investigations: His work includes controversial claims about Shell’s historical ties, including Nazi affiliations through figures like Sir Henri Deterding
John Donovan’s investigative work on Shell’s history is a provocative and persistent effort to expose what he views as the company’s darker legacy. His research spans decades and includes controversial claims, leaked documents, and historical analysis.
🕵️♂️ Key Themes in Donovan’s Historical Investigations
Shell’s Alleged Nazi Connections: Donovan has published extensive material alleging that Shell, under the leadership of Sir Henri Deterding, had ties to Nazi Germany in the 1930s. He claims Deterding admired Hitler and facilitated oil deals that supported the Nazi regime. These claims are detailed on his site , which includes archival documents and commentary.
Sir Henri Deterding’s Role:
Deterding was a powerful figure in Shell’s early history, serving as its chairman.
Donovan argues that Deterding’s political sympathies and business dealings aligned with fascist interests, including support for anti-Bolshevik movements and German rearmament.
Shell’s Colonial Legacy:
Donovan has highlighted Shell’s operations in Nigeria and other regions, focusing on environmental degradation, human rights abuses, and complicity in political unrest.
He often references Shell’s involvement in the Niger Delta and the execution of activist Ken Saro-Wiwa as emblematic of corporate negligence and exploitation.
Use of Leaked Internal Documents:
Donovan has published confidential Shell communications, whistleblower reports, and internal memos to support his claims.
These documents often reveal internal debates about ethics, legal risks, and public relations strategies.
Critique of Shell’s Business Principles:
He argues that Shell’s stated commitment to transparency and human rights is contradicted by its historical and ongoing actions.
His work aims to hold Shell accountable for what he sees as a pattern of hypocrisy and moral failure.
📚 Publications and Online Archives
Donovan’s websites serve as living archives, with thousands of pages of documents, commentary, and historical analysis.
His work is not peer-reviewed but has attracted attention from journalists, academics, and activists.
Overview of Shell’s operations in Nigeria and John Donovan’s coverage
John Donovan has long documented and criticised Shell’s nearly century-long presence in Nigeria, focusing on oil spills, environmental damage, human rights abuses, corporate practices, and what he frames as a self-interested exit from onshore operations. His work combines archival documents, leaked internal material, commentary, and news-style posts hosted on sites he runs and manages.read more
Hakluyt, the London-founded corporate intelligence consultancy with a reputation for attracting former MI6 operatives, has announced the opening of its new North American headquarters in New York.
For those unfamiliar:
Hakluyt was co-founded in the mid-1990s by former MI6 officers.
Its early private-sector patrons included senior executives at Royal Dutch Shell.
It has been widely described in media and governance circles as the “commercial arm of MI6.”
To Shell critics, none of this is surprising.read more
Once upon a time — and not very long ago — certain corporate and government voices insisted that earthquakes in places without natural fault lines simply couldn’t happen. The Netherlands was solid. Groningen was safe. The ground beneath families, schools, and lives was reliable. Except it turns out none of that was true — because some earthquakes can be manufactured, engineered, or to put it bluntly, provoked.
Shell to the Lifeboats: North Sea Crisis, Corporate Vanishing Act, and the Smell of Crude Regret
So here we are again.
Shell — the oil major that has treated the North Sea like a personal ATM since the 1970s — appears to be preparing a quick, quiet exit, leaving behind ageing infrastructure, decommissioning headaches, and what one might generously call a mess, and less generously call a multi-billion-pound cleanup liability.
According to The Telegraph, Shell is attempting a “hurried withdrawal” from the North Sea just as the political landscape shifts, with pressure mounting over who will pay for decommissioning oil infrastructure left under the waves.read more

I used shell broadband. It was by far the worst broadband provider ever! The internet did not work most days. I had their super fast broadband and it dropped out constantly.
