    As a member of the Global Climate Coalition, Shell helped sow doubt about climate change. Now that the globe has seen the highest temperatures in 100,000 years, Shell wants to argue it’s irresponsible to cut oil production now?

    It’s because Shell and other fossil fuel companies helped publish research that challenged climate science (and continue to do so) that it’s irresponsible to cut oil production now.

    They had their chance to do the right thing. They didn’t.

    Fuck them and their operations.

    Yes, I’m somewhat aware of the consequences. But if we don’t make hard decisions to kill dangerous companies like fossil fuels now…well…given the damage they case, it may not matter: millions, maybe billions, will still probably die.
