In a shocking turn of events, the notorious oil and gas giant, Shell, has had a few of its ads banned by the UK’s Advertising Standards Authority (ASA). Apparently, these ads gave a “misleading” impression of Shell’s dedication to non-polluting energy. Who would have thought that a company responsible for immense environmental damage would resort to misleading tactics?
Lately, Shell has faced heavy criticism for failing to live up to its lofty promises of combating climate change. It turns out that a significant portion of the money they claimed to invest in “Renewables and Energy Solutions” actually went into the coffers of natural gas, a highly polluting energy source. But fear not, for Shell has come up with a brilliant justification. They argue that natural gas is slightly less polluting than oil, conveniently ignoring the fact that it still contributes to the climate crisis.

Natural gas output at Europe’s largest onshore gas field, the Netherlands’ Groningen, continued to fall sharply in December following the Dutch government’s tightening of the production quota, with volumes down 43% year on year.
