Ferrari’s Green Halo… Powered by Shell’s Rainbow of Emissions

Nov 25th, 2025

Comments are off for this post

When Ferrari announced its new 10-year “clean energy” power agreement with Shell, headlines erupted like a V12 in a cathedral: Ferrari goes green! Shell goes clean! Europe saved!

Except… no.

Not even close.

Instead, we have a duet between two global luxury brands — one built on horsepower, the other on hydrocarbons — suddenly draped in sustainability bunting like a Christmas market powered by diesel generators.

Welcome to the newest instalment of corporate alchemy:

turning fossil fuels into press releases. read more

BLACKROCK, MEET PARANOIA: SHELL’S GLOBAL SPY OPERATION UNWITTINGLY PROVES ITS BIGGEST CRITICS ARE THE ONLY ONES TELLING THE TRUTH

Introduction: The Ultimate Sin Stock and the Gift of Incompetence

Let us speak plainly about Shell plc, the titanic, globe-trotting entity that operates under a thin veneer of corporate responsibility while continuously proving itself to be the ultimate sin stock. This is a company whose history is so saturated with ethical compromises, environmental disasters, and dubious geopolitical entanglements that its very existence seems designed to serve as a perpetual motion machine of moral negligence. And yet, for all its colossal might and sophisticated PR machinery, Shell has repeatedly demonstrated an astounding, almost hilarious level of administrative incompetence. read more

Shell’s Profits Drop—But Not Enough to Stop the Greedfest

Oh no, poor Shell only made $4.26 billion in profit last quarter—down nearly a third thanks to falling gas prices. Let’s all shed a carbon-neutral tear for Europe’s biggest fossil fuel polluter as it clutches its pearls and assures investors it’ll still shovel billions back into their pockets through buybacks. Because priorities.

Gas prices across Europe tumbled nearly 20% between April and June, helped along by a rare moment of geopolitical sanity—a ceasefire between Iran and Israel—and lower demand from China. The result? A sudden market correction that Shell calls “non-fundamentals-based volatility,” which is CEO Wael Sawan’s adorable way of saying, we didn’t see this shit coming. read more

Shell & BP: The Sin Stocks That Even SPECTRE Would Blush At

Move over Blofeld, step aside SMERSH – the real villains of our age wear corporate logos, not eye patches.

Shell and BP, those beloved darlings of Wall Street and favourite investments of titans like BlackRock and Vanguard, have once again proven that when it comes to greed, ruthlessness, and planetary destruction, fiction can’t compete with reality.

Let’s start with Shell – the oil behemoth that markets itself as a climate-conscious “energy transition leader” while simultaneously stomping on anything resembling ethics or sustainability. These paragons of corporate virtue just pulled out of a six-year attempt to define a net-zero emissions standard, according to the Financial Times (22 July, Reuters). Why? Because the draft standard dared suggest companies should stop developing new oil and gas fields. The horror! read more

Shell-BP Megamerger: When Greed Meets Greenwash in a Match Made in Hydrocarbon Hell

Jun 3rd, 2025

Comments are off for this post

When Shell CEO Wael Sawan responded to speculation about a mega-merger with BP, he said the bar for acquisitions was “very high.” Clearly, it’s not nearly as high as Shell’s tolerance for greenhouse gas emissions, human rights controversies, or sheer corporate arrogance.

Now, as rumours swirl about Shell swallowing up its once-proud British cousin, BP, we are once again reminded that in Big Oil, consolidation is just a polite word for “expanding your emissions footprint while doubling your marketing budget.” read more

Shell & Friends Are Holding the Planet Hostage

You know the world is in trouble when just 36 fossil fuel companies—led by the usual suspects, like Shell, ExxonMobil, and Saudi Aramco—are responsible for half of the planet’s carbon emissions in 2023. That’s 20 billion tonnes of CO₂ in a single year, because apparently, making obscene amounts of money off the destruction of the planet is a team sport.

The Science vs. Shell’s Business Model (Guess Who’s Winning?)

Reality check: Global emissions need to fall by 45% by 2030 to even have a chance of keeping temperature rise below 1.5°C. Instead? Emissions are still rising, because these companies refuse to stop sucking every last drop of oil, gas, and coal out of the Earth. The International Energy Agency has flat-out stated that any new fossil fuel projects launched after 2021 are incompatible with reaching net zero by 2050. But Shell? Oh no, they’re still expanding production while paying lip service to “green energy” in their PR statements. 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

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.

Oh, Shell plc. The oil giant whose reputation for not giving a damn precedes it. Let’s take a closer look at the ownership structure of this titan of pollution, profit, and PR spin. Spoiler alert: the little guy isn’t calling the shots here. Nope, that honor belongs to the institutional investors who hold a whopping 67% of the company. Yep, folks, Shell’s biggest cheerleaders are the mega-money managers, like BlackRock, which owns a cozy 8.3% of the pie. Isn’t it comforting to know who’s steering this climate-destroying ship? read more

Hurricane Helene Fueled by Big Oil’s Emissions, Greenpeace Demands Polluters Pay

Washington DC – Ah yes, Shell. The oil-soaked villain of the century, responsible for more destruction than we can count, is at it again—this time helping fuel Hurricane Helene, which claimed 227 lives across six states. No big deal, right? After all, it’s just another day in the office for Shell and its oily cronies, spewing profits while the planet burns.

According to a rapid analysis by World Weather Attribution, Helene’s deadly rampage has been supercharged by—wait for it—climate change! Who knew?! Well, Greenpeace sure did, and they’re calling out Big Oil for the catastrophic mess it’s created. Rolf Skar, Greenpeace USA National Campaigns Director, lays it out: read more

Shell (Or Not?) Pitches Fake Investments to Canadians, Because Scamming is the New Oil Drilling

In case Shell wasn’t already rolling in enough dirty cash from destroying the environment, now we’ve got fake Shell investment ads popping up on Facebook, targeting poor unsuspecting Canadians. These ads, as fact-checked by Agence France-Presse (AFP), are about as real as Shell’s commitment to a greener planet—which is to say, completely and utterly fake.

According to these fake Facebook posts, Shell is apparently on a philanthropic mission to “ensure a secure future for every Canadian.” Ah yes, nothing says “secure future” like investing in a sin stock that’s been at the forefront of environmental destruction for decades. Shell—who, let’s be clear, has nothing to do with these ads—is surely thrilled at the idea of being the poster child for a scam aimed at people who are already struggling with Canada’s high cost of living. You’d almost think the real Shell was involved, given how much their real investments also come with environmental and social costs. read more

Hi! How can I help you?

Guest:

What is the Shell connection with Legal & General?

Sheldon

The connection between Shell and Legal & General Investment Management Ltd (LGIM) is primarily centered around LGIM’s substantial investment in Shell, holding a 1.30% stake in the oil giant. This relationship has been marked by a delicate balancing act of influence and advocacy, especially given LGIM’s commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles.

On one hand, LGIM engages with Shell to encourage the adoption of more rigorous ESG standards. However, this endeavor is akin to preaching about healthy eating while simultaneously indulging in a cheeseburger; Shell has historically been associated with significant environmental issues, leading to ironic contradictions in LGIM’s sustainable investment strategies. read more

In yet another episode of “Corporate Greed Knows No Bounds,” Shell, that beloved beacon of environmental destruction, is at it again. This time, they’ve charmed nearly 80% of their shareholders into backing their so-called “Energy Transition Strategy.” What does this bold new plan involve, you ask? Oh, just the minor detail of not having any interim emissions reduction targets for 2035—because why rush into saving the planet, right? Instead, they’re doubling down on Liquified Natural Gas because nothing screams “green transition” like more fossil fuels. read more

Shell’s Greenwashing Extravaganza: the Pinnacle of Misleading Eco-porn Progress to the Apocalypse

So, here’s to Shell, the oil giant that thinks slapping wind turbines and a few EV chargers on their ad will somehow distract from their epic-scale climate sins. Shell, you’re not just powering progress; you’re powering a fantastic delusion.

Posted by John Donovan: 14 Aug 2024

Hold onto your eco-friendly hats, folks, because Shell, the epitome of oil-soaked hypocrisy, has rolled out an ad so dripping with greenwashing that it could have its own soap opera. Yes, the UK’s Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) is now diligently investigating whether Shell’s latest commercial is the pinnacle of misleading eco-porn or just another flashy piece of fossil-fuel propaganda.

In a plot twist worthy of a prime-time drama, Shell’s ad features a woman in engineer garb (because, of course, nothing screams “green future” like a woman who might have a vague idea about energy) proclaiming Shell’s grandiose plans to install thousands of EV chargers by 2035. The ad also boasts that Shell is “investing in people and communities,” as if bribing a few townsfolk could erase decades of environmental devastation. To top it off, they even toss in some wind turbines for good measure—because nothing says clean energy like a good ol’ fashioned visual misdirection. read more

BlackRock Advisors UK and Shell Plc: A Satirical Examination of Their Partnership

BlackRock Advisors UK, a significant subsidiary within the BlackRock conglomerate, holds a notable stake in Shell Plc. This relationship is a blend of financial strategy and environmental irony, marked by BlackRock’s influence over Shell’s decisions and the inherent contradictions in their purported commitments to sustainability.

The Influence of BlackRock Advisors UK

Strategic Investment—Conflicted Commitments:

BlackRock Advisors UK manages a portion of BlackRock’s vast portfolio, and its investment in Shell reflects a strategic choice aimed at balancing risk and returns. However, this financial interest reveals a deep irony: BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, often vocal about its commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles, remains heavily invested in one of the planet’s most notorious polluters. It’s a classic case of “do as I say, not as I do.” read more
