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

Ah, good old Shell, the absolute paragon of corporate virtue—if “virtue” means ruthlessly exploiting the planet, trampling workers, and bending over backwards to ensure its investors keep cashing in on destruction. And who might those investors be? Oh, just the likes of BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street—because nothing screams “commitment to sustainability” quite like stuffing their pockets with profits from an oil-slicked death spiral. 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 – The Sin Stock That Keeps on Sinning

Posted by John Donovan: 15 Jan 25

They say money makes the world go round, but at Shell, it also makes the world burn, drown, and choke on toxic fumes. For decades, this greedy, ruthless oil giant has been the poster child for corporate malfeasance, environmental destruction, and whistleblower persecution. Let’s not mince words: Shell is not just a company; it’s an evil empire masquerading as an energy conglomerate, bankrolled by investors like BlackRock, who are apparently too busy counting their profits to notice the carnage. read more

Shell and Big Oil Get Slapped Down by SCOTUS—But They’re Still Laughing All the Way to BlackRock

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

Shell Pops Namibia’s Oil Dream: “Uneconomic” Finds and the Usual Greed-First Spin

Shell, the corporate maestro of broken promises and environmental carnage, has graced us with yet another chapter in its saga of disappointment. This time, the scene is Namibia’s Orange Basin, where Shell’s much-hyped oil and gas discoveries have turned out to be—wait for it—uneconomic. But don’t worry, they’ll still keep sniffing around for more profit opportunities while the Namibian government watches its oil boom fantasies evaporate. Classic Shell

…doubling down on a project already plagued by scandal and whistleblower revelations

Posted by John Donovan; 9 January 2025

Here we go again. Shell, the global grandmaster of environmental destruction and corporate greed, has announced its latest scheme to exploit every corner of the planet it can. This time, it’s the $2.5 billion Crux gas field development off the coast of Australia. Shell’s plan? Tie Crux to its controversial Prelude floating LNG facility—because nothing says “environmental responsibility” like doubling down on a project already plagued by scandal and whistleblower revelations read more

Shell’s Shaky Dutch Legacy: Earthquakes, Gas Drilling, and Wall Street Dreams

Ladies and gentlemen, Shell—the master of environmental destruction and corporate greed—is at it again. If you thought oil spills and greenwashing were the worst of it, let’s talk about how Shell’s decades-long obsession with extracting every last drop of gas from the Netherlands has literally shaken the earth

The Groningen Quakes: Shell’s Dirty Little Secret

The Netherlands experienced 47 earthquakes in 2024, according to the KNMI. Of those, 40 were caused by gas extraction, primarily from the infamous Groningen gas field—a site that’s been synonymous with human-induced seismic activity for years. Natural disasters? Think again. These are Shell-made quakes, brought to you by their relentless gas drilling. read more

Shell and BP Reunification: A Match Made in Environmental Hell?

This merger could create a single, “politically palatable” British oil powerhouse, bringing the two firms under one toxic roof again, as they were back in the day of Shell-Mex & BP Limited. Let’s not kid ourselves: combining two sin stocks doesn’t create a virtuous company—it creates a bigger monster.

Well, well, well. The idea of Shell and BP reuniting like long-lost toxic lovers to form a single “British champion” has emerged again, and honestly, what could possibly go wrong? Let’s take a moment to bask in the absurdity of these two oil-soaked giants coming together, as if their combined history of greed, destruction, and shady dealings weren’t already jaw-dropping enough.

BP: The Soggy “Takeover Target”

BP, described as an “absolute dog” by *Oliver Shah, has been floundering ever since it made some laughably “overly ambitious” green commitments during COVID. Then there was the messy exit of CEO Bernard Looney, which left BP as rudderless as one of its oil-drenched ships in the Gulf of Mexico. The new CEO, Murray Auchincloss, is doing some light tidying, like offloading offshore wind assets to a Japanese joint venture. But let’s be real: nothing short of a PR miracle or massive corporate overhaul will revive BP’s limp share price. read more

The UK’s whistleblowing protections are in tatters, and its justice system is on life support. Individuals who dare to expose corruption, negligence, or safety failings face insurmountable barriers, not just from their employers but from a broken system meant to protect them. Irina Woodhead’s battle against Shell International Trading and Shipping Company Limited is the latest case to shine a damning light on a system that silences whistleblowers, shields corporations, and denies justice. read more

Ladies and gentlemen, let’s give a standing ovation to Shell—because when it comes to greed, hypocrisy, and climate destruction, this oil-soaked corporate Goliath continues to redefine the art of not giving a single f*ck about the planet. In its latest episode of “How Can We Make Everything Worse?”, Shell has launched yet another stock buyback program while gutting its EV charging ambitions and threatening to leave the London Stock Exchange for Wall Street. Bravo, Shell. 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.

Shell’s Great Sprint to Nowhere: A Love Letter to Greed, Pollution, and Abandoning London

Oh, Shell. The benevolent overlord of oil spills, climate denial, and corporate greed is at it again. In what might be the least surprising development of the century, Shell’s chief executive, Wael Sawan, has announced that the company is considering ditching its London listing for the bright, deregulated allure of New York. Because, apparently, £152 billion isn’t enough for this juggernaut of destruction—they need more, damn it.

According to Sawan, Shell is on a “sprint” to boost its valuation and close the gap with American giants ExxonMobil and Chevron. Yes, those paragons of climate responsibility. And if London can’t fluff their valuation numbers to sufficiently stroke Shell’s ego by the end of 2025, they’re threatening to pack up their toys and play in the States. It’s like the corporate version of “if you don’t love me at my worst, you don’t deserve me at my best”—except it’s Shell, and their “best” is spewing carbon and pocketing record profits. 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.

Ah, Shell, that global paragon of corporate virtue (read: greed), is at it again—reminding the world that profit always comes first, no matter the cost. With a track record as smooth as an oil spill, Shell has managed to combine ruthless ambition, a touch of espionage, and an uncanny ability to slide through controversies unscathed. Let’s dive into the murky depths of corporate surveillance.

A Glimpse into Corporate Espionage

Imagine sitting in a piss-drenched doorway, pretending to be homeless, just to “eyeball” a target across the street. One moment you’re incognito, the next you’re suited up, tailing someone through the City and “ripping” their phone—a polite euphemism for illegally downloading its contents. This isn’t a spy movie; it’s just another day in the life of a private investigator. read more

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
