Shell’s Greenwashing Smokescreen

Posted by John Donovan August 7, 2023

In a groundbreaking display of environmental commitment, Barclays is championing sustainability while funding the beloved oil giant, Shell. The masterful manipulation of “sustainable finance” initiatives has allowed Barclays to classify a $10 billion revolving credit facility for Shell as “social and environmental financing” – truly an awe-inspiring feat in the world of greenwashing.

But wait, it gets better! Barclays ingeniously counts its share of the loan towards achieving its $150 billion social and environmental financing target. Who knew that aiding a polluting behemoth could be such a philanthropic endeavour? read more

Shell’s ‘obscene’ $5bn profits

While Europe swelters in record-breaking heat, Shell stays cool as a cucumber and defiantly plans to increase oil and gas production. It’s heartwarming to witness such dedication to contributing to the climate crisis while lining their own pockets. Truly, a match made in heaven.

Posted by John Donovan: July 27, 2023

In a stunning display of corporate restraint, British oil giant Shell reported a mere $5.1 billion in profits for the second quarter, triggering waves of gratitude and appreciation from climate activists across the globe. The figures came as a pleasant surprise, as analysts had anticipated an even higher windfall of $6 billion. Oh, Shell, you’ve truly outdone yourself!

Environmental campaigners, whose hearts are bursting with joy, condemned the profit figures as “obscene.” They simply can’t contain their delight as they watch Shell prioritize its shareholders’ happiness over the health of our planet. How thoughtful! And let’s not forget the beautiful billboard lovingly erected by Greenpeace activists outside Shell’s London headquarters, with the message “Our profit, your loss.” Such a touching sentiment! read more

Shell’s Climate Strategy: An Award-Winning Performance in the Courtroom!

POSTED BY JOHN DONOVAN: JULY 24, 2023

In a thrilling legal drama, environmental law charity ClientEarth has tried its best to rain on Shell’s parade over its climate strategy. But alas, the high court in London has refused to allow the fun to continue.

How disappointing! We were all looking forward to the grand spectacle of Shell’s directors being held accountable for their so-called “duties” to shareholders.

ClientEarth, with its whopping 27 shares in Shell, had the audacity to argue that the energy giant’s current climate transition strategy is nothing more than a mere fantasy. They claim that Shell’s aim of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050 is just a fairy tale. Oh, ClientEarth, why can’t you see the magic in Shell’s grand plans? read more

Shell’s Misfortune: Profit Plummet as Oil Prices Dip

Posted by JOHN DONOVAN: July 23, 2023

Oh dear, oh dear! What a dreadful turn of events for poor, poor Shell! Brace yourselves for the heart-wrenching news, folks. The ruthless, money-hungry oil giant, Shell, is facing a tragic fate – its profits are about to HALVE! Yes, you heard that right! This pitiful predicament comes as a result of a “slump” in oil and gas prices.

How unfortunate for the poor souls at Shell, who are used to swimming in their overflowing cash reserves. But fret not! Even amidst this so-called “crisis,” Shell still finds ways to soothe its aching shareholders and is expected to raise its dividend and offer share buybacks. Because who needs financial stability when you can temporarily placate your investors?

In 2022, Shell bathed in the glory of record-breaking profits, boasting a staggering £9 billion for the second quarter. But alas, 2023 has brought a cruel twist of fate, with analysts predicting a measly £4.7 billion profit for the same period this year. Poor Shell, how will it ever survive? read more

Shell’s Greenwashing Hits a New Low

Posted by JOHN DONOVAN July 23, 2023

Shell, the master of deceptive marketing, is once again under fire for misleading the public with its phony environmental claims. The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has caught Shell red-handed, exposing the company’s attempts to portray itself as an eco-friendly hero while continuing its ruthless polluting practices.

From hiding the true nature of its loyalty scheme to exaggerating the impact of its renewable energy initiatives, Shell’s greenwashing tactics know no bounds. As public concern for the environment grows, the ASA takes a stricter approach, and it’s about time Shell faces the consequences of its blatant deception.

In yet another display of its deceptive marketing prowess, Shell has been caught in the act once again by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) for its misleading environmental claims. This time, the oil giant attempted to paint itself as a champion of sustainability while continuing to wreak havoc on the planet with its polluting operations. read more

Shell Celebrates Sky-High Profits While the World Burns

Greenpeace Demands Climate Accountability: Shell seems unfazed, pouring billions into the pockets of shareholders while the world burns.

POSTED BY JOHN DONOVAN JULY 22, 2023

Shell, the unapologetic polluting behemoth, is set to announce yet another round of astronomical profits, thanks to its reckless exploitation of oil and gas. With profits soaring to billions, Shell’s CEO, Wael Sawan, shamelessly dismisses environmental concerns and slashes green targets. Meanwhile, the world experiences catastrophic climate events, from scorching heatwaves to devastating floods. Greenpeace demands that Shell takes responsibility for the climate havoc it has caused and pays into the Loss and Damage fund, rather than pouring billions into shareholders’ pockets. read more

Shell’s CEO Joins PM’s Business Council to “Drive Prosperity” with More Pollution

By including Shell in the Business Council, the UK Prime Minister sends a message that big polluters can have a seat at the table, regardless of their track record.

Posted by JOHN DONOVAN July 19, 2023

Shell CEO Wael Sawan joins the Prime Minister’s Business Council, where he promises to deliver “secure, affordable, and cleaner energy.”

With Shell’s notorious track record of pollution and environmental devastation, it’s clear that Sawan’s commitment to cleaner energy is nothing more than empty words.

He claims that Shell will help drive prosperity and growth in the UK through the provision of “secure, affordable, and cleaner energy.” But let’s not be fooled by Sawan’s lofty promises. This move is simply a desperate attempt by Shell to improve its tarnished image while continuing to prioritize its profits over the well-being of the planet. read more

Shell’s true colors are as plain as the crude oil they relentlessly extract from the Earth

Shell Considers Dabbling in Green Energy Just to Keep Activist Investors Quiet

Posted by John Donovan July 15, 2023

In a surprising turn of events, the ruthless oil giant Shell is reportedly exploring the possibility of selling a stake in its green energy business. Yes, you read that right – the company notorious for its relentless pursuit of oil and gas profits is considering dipping its toes into the world of renewables. But don’t get too excited, this move is likely just an attempt to appease activist investors who have been pestering Shell for years.

According to insiders, Shell has approached third parties to gauge interest in offloading part of its global renewable power operations. They may even go as far as establishing the renewables arm as a separate business, a clever ploy to create the illusion of commitment to green energy while maintaining their true focus on fossil fuels. It’s all about optics, you know. read more

Shell’s Philanthropic CEO Faces Criticism for Comments on Oil Production

Posted by JOHN DONOVAN: July 7, 2023

In a stunning display of environmental enlightenment, Wael Sawan, the esteemed CEO of Shell, has been condemned by the United Nations’ climate change body for his audacious suggestion that cutting oil and gas production would be “dangerous and irresponsible.” Clearly, Sawan is a visionary who understands the dire consequences of not perpetuating the burning of fossil fuels indefinitely.

Simon Stiell, the Executive Secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), courageously called out Sawan’s remarks as both untrue and irresponsible. How dare anyone challenge the wisdom of the fossil fuel industry at a time when we are desperately trying to achieve… well, something, right? read more

Shell CEO Dreams of Leaving UK for Greener (Profitable) Pastures in the US

Posted by JOHN DONOVAN: July 7, 2023

In a truly heartwarming display of corporate compassion, Wael Sawan, the CEO of Shell, has openly mused about the possibility of abandoning the UK to make even more money elsewhere. It seems that pesky ‘windfall’ taxes imposed by the UK Government on energy firms have left poor Shell feeling unappreciated. After all, why pay your fair share when you can simply relocate and maximize your profits?

Sawan wasted no time in painting a bleak picture of the future, warning that energy prices and bills could skyrocket if China’s increased demand coincides with a cold European winter. Oh, the horror! It’s almost as if Shell’s bottom line is more important than the financial well-being of ordinary people. read more

Shell’s Greenwashing Exposed: Misleading Ads Banned for Hilariously Overstating Commitment to Clean Energy

Posted by JOHN DONOVAN: July 7, 2023

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. read more

Shell Laments Disappointing Gas Trading Results, Blames Everything but Themselves

Posted by John Donovan: July 7, 2023

In a stunning display of humility, Shell, the world’s renowned champion of environmental stewardship, reluctantly admitted that its second-quarter gas trading results are expected to be “significantly lower.” However, they were quick to point out that this is merely a coincidence and has absolutely nothing to do with their own actions or the devastating impact of their business on the planet.

Shell was forced to acknowledge that wholesale gas prices experienced some volatility during April-June, conveniently blaming maintenance work in Norway for the upheaval. How dare those suppliers disrupt Shell’s pristine operations! Adding insult to injury, their own Nyhamna processing plant encountered an unexpected outage, because, well, who needs reliability when you’re an oil giant? read more

Shell’s Self-Righteous Defense of Irresponsible Oil Production

Posted by John Donovan July 6, 2023

In a stunning display of arrogance, Shell’s boss, Wael Sawan, has declared that cutting oil and gas production would be “dangerous and irresponsible.” Apparently, the world still “desperately needs oil and gas,” according to Sawan, who seems to believe that renewable energy is simply not progressing fast enough to replace these polluting fossil fuels.

Climate scientists, however, are infuriated by Shell’s stubborn commitment to continue current oil production until 2030. Professor Emily Shuckburgh from the University of Cambridge rightly argues that companies like Shell should prioritize accelerating the transition to green energy instead of prolonging the use of oil and gas, which harms both the environment and vulnerable communities. read more

Groningen Gas Field: Shell and Exxon Mobil’s Monument to Greed and Disregard for Health Risks

Posted by John Donovan July 5, 2023

The Groningen gas field, a behemoth boasting a mind-boggling 2.8 billion cubic meters, serves as a glorious testament to the insatiable greed of Shell and Exxon Mobil, the illustrious partners responsible for its management. With their joint venture company NAM overseeing extraction operations for over six decades, these oil giants have accumulated immense profits while leaving behind a trail of devastation and despair.

The State Supervision of Mines (SodM) has called for the complete closure of the Groningen gas field as early as this fall, challenging the arbitrary deadline of October 1, 2024. It appears that the painfully slow progress in reinforcing infrastructure and compensating for earthquake damage has had a noticeable impact on the health of residents in the quake-stricken area. State Secretary Hans Vijlbrief, tasked with overseeing mining affairs, must urgently address these concerns and put an end to the uncertainty that plagues the region, as per the authority’s advice. read more

Shell’s Magnificent Display of Hypocrisy: Still Trading Russian Gas Despite Empty Promises

Posted by John Donovan 3 July 2023

In a remarkable exhibition of utter disregard for their own pledges, Shell, the greedy and ruthless polluting oil giant, continues to engage in the trading of Russian gas more than a year after promising to withdraw from the Russian energy market.

Despite their hollow claims, the despicable company was involved in nearly an eighth of Russia’s shipborne gas exports in 2022, making a tidy sum of hundreds of millions while conveniently ignoring the bloodshed and suffering caused by the Ukrainian invasion. read more
