Shell’s Climate Crimes: Because Nothing Says ‘Green Future’ Like 700 New Oil Fields

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

Fossil Free London says Shut Down Shell

(Information supplied by the above protest organisation, Fossil Free London)

Have you heard the news?

We’ve been BANNED from this year’s 🔥Shell🔥 annual general meeting (AGM).

Shell have conveniently jumped on Heathrow’s draconian anti-protest injunction, by deciding to hold their AGM in no other than the Sofitel hotel at Heathrow’s Terminal 5 – the only place where protest is banned!

BUT TRY AS THEY MAY WE WON’T BE SILENCED 🤫

We will challenge Shell and continue to bring the voices of the Niger Delta communities to the belly of the beast at Shell’s global headquarters. read more

Shell Spins Wind Into Gold—With a Little Help from Google and a Lot of Help from Green PR

Shell, the unapologetic poster child of climate catastrophe, has teamed up with none other than Google—yes, the one that promises to do no evil (but forgot to check the fine print)—to give its ageing NoordzeeWind offshore wind farm a shiny new lease on life. Because nothing screams “sustainable energy transition” like letting an oil giant take credit for not tearing down a wind farm just yet.

That’s right. In a move drenched in green gloss and corporate spin, Shell and Google announced what they’re proudly calling a “world-first”: a corporate power purchase agreement (PPA) that will extend the life of the Netherlands’ first offshore wind park for another five glorious years of… well, not being dismantled. read more

Exxon’s Eco-Warrior Makeover: Out-Greening Shell, the Sin Stock That Keeps on Spilling

This article was generated with the support of AI and reviewed by a human editor.

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

Shell’s New North Sea Strategy: Drill, Merge, Dodge, Repeat

Shell — the world’s favourite greenwashing juggernaut — is once again proving that its true superpower isn’t drilling oil. It’s drilling holes in the tax system. It’s merger mania, and while executives claim it’s about “scale” and “flexibility in a declining basin,” every tax lawyer and banker worth their bonus knows the real prize: huge future profits with minimal tax bills.

Posted By John Donovan: 15 April 2025

In a move that would make even the most shameless tax accountant blush, Shell and its oily comrades have been busy merging their way out of billions in tax liabilities across the North Sea — all while crying about how unfair their taxes are.

Because when you’re one of the most profitable polluters on Earth, nothing screams “innovation” like ducking your fiscal responsibilities through creative accounting.

💸 Mergers That Smell Like Money (Saved)

Here’s the scheme — sorry, “strategy” — in action: read more

Shell Sinks Another Oil Field Into the Gulf of America, Calls It “Lower-Carbon”

Deep Water, Deeper Denial: Shell Touts New Oil Bonanza While Pretending It’s a Climate Solution

BREAKING: Shell has struck again — not in court, not in a human rights investigation, but 7,500 feet under the Gulf of Mexico, where the planet’s least-needed project just came online: Dover, a lovely little climate time-bomb producing up to 20,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.

Yes, Shell is back at it, extracting hydrocarbons with a smile, calling it “lower carbon” because… well, it’s not from coal, and that apparently counts for something in ESG bingo.

“Shell continues to unlock more value from the prolific basins in our portfolio,” read more

Sober Reflection

Sober Reflection

For over two decades, John Donovan has published articles on RoyalDutchShellPlc.com, relentlessly documenting Shell’s alleged misdeeds — from corporate espionage and environmental devastation to human rights violations and greenwashing on an industrial scale.

Some might ask: Can this all really be true? Could one of the world’s most powerful corporations, backed by billions in revenue and a global network of lawyers, really be this corrupt, this ruthless, and still get away with it?

Here’s something worth pondering: read more

Shell & BP Executives Indicted? Finally Someone’s Asking WTF Are They Still Getting Away With?

Shell & BP Executives Indicted? Finally, Someone’s Asking WTF Are They Still Getting Away With?

Because climate collapse apparently pays better than justice.

Ah, Shell and BP—the oil-stained darlings of the stock market, the poster children of unchecked corporate excess, and the absolute masters of torching the planet while patting themselves on the back for it. This week, in a rare moment of clarity from the reality-based world, draft indictments were hand-delivered to the Crown Prosecution Service, accusing top executives at Shell and BP of public nuisance. Aww, just a nuisance? That’s cute. We’re sure the understatement will comfort the flooded homes, blistering heatwaves, and collapsing food systems caused by fossil fuel emissions. read more

Shell CEO Bravely Warns That Doing More Deals Might Distract From Already Destroying the Planet Efficiently

Ah yes, Shell, the beloved oil-soaked darling of Vanguard and BlackRock, has once again graced us with its unshakable moral compass—pointing steadily toward short-term shareholder returns and long-term planetary combustion.

This week, Shell CEO Wael Sawan, live from the hallowed halls of the New York Stock Exchange (because nothing screams “saving the Earth” like ringing the bell on Wall Street), solemnly declared that while Shell is always hunting for acquisitions like a fossil-fueled velociraptor, going for a big one—say, cough, BP—might be a “distraction.” read more

Shell’s Bold New Plan: Do Nothing and Keep Cashing In

Investors hoping for something even remotely resembling a conscience will be sorely disappointed.

Ah, Shell—the oil-soaked corporate darling of BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street—has a thrilling new strategy: staying the course and raking in profits while the planet burns. According to RBC, Shell’s upcoming March 24 strategy update isn’t expected to bring any big surprises, because why change a thing when you’re already swimming in billions?

Shell’s grand master plan? More cost-cutting, fewer green investments, and an unwavering commitment to its liquefied natural gas (LNG) empire. Investors hoping for something even remotely resembling a conscience—perhaps divesting from its chemicals division—will be sorely disappointed. RBC thinks that’s unlikely in the short term. Translation: Shell will continue flooding the world with petrochemicals and plastic waste for the foreseeable future. read more

Shell’s Billion-Dollar Bonanza: Profits Over Planet, Again

Shell is once again proving that nothing—not plummeting profits, climate devastation, or public outrage—will stop it from showering its investors with cash. Despite a “disappointing” $23.7 billion in profits for 2024 (down from the nearly $40 billion bonanza in 2022), Shell still managed to cough up $22.5 billion for its investors, because when you’re one of the world’s most notorious polluters, keeping shareholders happy always comes before keeping the planet habitable. read more

BP + Shell: The Unholy Merger

BP + Shell: The Unholy Merger That Could Create the Ultimate Greed Machine: Because One Corporate Villain Just Isn’t Enough!

What’s worse than one greedy, polluting oil giant hellbent on squeezing every last drop of profit from a burning planet? Two of them merging into a mega-monster that could go toe-to-toe with the world’s worst climate wreckers. That’s right, bankers are reportedly scheming to merge BP and Shell, creating a single British oil behemoth so powerful it could bulldoze past competition and continue its relentless extraction with even less oversight.

Why Merge? Profits Over Planet, Obviously

Top investment bankers, ever eager to engineer disasters for their own financial gain, are eyeing a BP-Shell megamerger to create one national champion of corporate greed. The goal? Compete with other environmental supervillains like ExxonMobil, Chevron, and TotalEnergies—because apparently, the world doesn’t have enough giant oil companies ignoring climate destruction for shareholder returns. read more

Shell on Trial: The Oil Giant That Poisoned Nigeria Now Faces Justice—If It Can’t Buy Its Way Out

Because Profits Matter More Than Human Lives, Right?

Shell—the undisputed champion of pollution, corporate greed, and dodging responsibility—is finally being forced to answer for its decades of devastation in Nigeria’s Niger Delta. On February 13, 2025, the High Court in London opened proceedings against the oil giant, as the Bille and Ogale communities fight to hold Shell accountable for the destruction of their land, water, and livelihoods.

Decades of Spills, Zero Accountability

The 50,000 people living in these communities have spent years living with Shell’s toxic legacy—hundreds of oil spills from Shell’s pipelines, leaving their water undrinkable, their farmland useless, and their health in ruins. And despite making billions in profits from Nigeria’s oil, Shell has offered nothing in terms of compensation or cleanup. Absolutely nothing. read more

Shell’s AI Fantasy: How the World’s Most Polluting Oil Giant Is Spinning the Future

Who Needs Reality When You Can Just Invent an AI-Powered Greenwashing Campaign?

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’s Business Model: Pollute, Lie, Profit, Repeat:  The Real Question: Why Is Shell Still Allowed to Exist?

In a plot twist that surprises absolutely no one, a BBC investigation has exposed Shell for what it truly isa ruthless, polluting oil giant that lies about cleaning up its mess while quietly slipping out the back door with billions in profit.

A Billion-Dollar ‘Clean-Up’ That Cleans Nothing

Let’s start with Shell’s so-called $1 billion oil clean-up in Nigeria—a project that was supposed to remedy the decades of environmental destruction Shell has inflicted on Ogoniland. But according to a whistleblower, the entire operation is a scam designed to fool the public while stuffing politicians’ pockets. read more

Shell’s Latest Courtroom Shenanigans: Because Who Needs Laws When You Have Billions?

Posted by John Donovan: 30 Jan 2025

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
