ICYMI - From 2011: Secret memos expose link between #BigOil firms and invasion of #Iraq
Paul Bignell, Tuesday 19 April 2011
"Five months before the March 2003 invasion, Baroness Symons, then the Trade Minister, told #BP that the Government believed British energy firms should be given a share of Iraq's enormous oil and gas reserves as a reward for #TonyBlair's military commitment to US plans for regime change.
"The papers show that Lady Symons agreed to lobby the Bush administration on BP's behalf because the oil giant feared it was being 'locked out' of deals that Washington was quietly striking with US, French and Russian governments and their energy firms.
"Minutes of a meeting with BP, #Shell and BG (formerly #BritishGas) on 31 October 2002 read: 'Baroness Symons agreed that it would be difficult to justify British companies losing out in Iraq in that way if the UK had itself been a conspicuous supporter of the US government throughout the crisis.'
"The minister then promised to "report back to the companies before Christmas" on her lobbying efforts.
"The Foreign Office invited BP in on 6 November 2002 to talk about opportunities in Iraq 'post #RegimeChange'. Its minutes state: "Iraq is the big oil prospect. BP is desperate to get in there and anxious that political deals should not deny them the opportunity.'
"After another meeting, this one in October 2002, the Foreign Office's Middle East director at the time, Edward Chaplin, noted: 'Shell and BP could not afford not to have a stake in [Iraq] for the sake of their long-term future... We were determined to get a fair slice of the action for UK companies in a post-Saddam Iraq."'

#Maine Sues Major #OilCompanies Over ‘Ongoing Deception’ About #ClimateChange
The lawsuit follows similar suits by eight other states and the District of Columbia against major oil companies, all alleging complicity in climate change. Those states are New Jersey, California, Delaware, Minnesota, Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island

"The state of Maine has filed a lawsuit against five major oil companies and their top lobbying group, accusing them of carrying out a decades-long disinformation campaign about climate change and their contribution to it in order to maximize profits.
"Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey, in his lawsuit filed Tuesday in state court, accuses Exxon Mobil, Shell, Chevron, BP, Sunoco and the American Petroleum Institute of withholding internal knowledge about fossil fuels’ catastrophic effects all while spinning public doubt.
"'For over half a century, these companies chose to fuel profits instead of following their science to prevent what are now likely irreversible, catastrophic climate effects,' said Frey in a statement. 'In so doing, they burdened the State and our citizens with the consequences of their greed and deception.'"

#Shell wins landmark #climate case against green groups in Dutch appeal
Anna Holligan, November 12, 2024
"Part of the historic legal case hinged on the interpretation of an 'unwritten duty of care' that exists under Dutch law, which requires companies to prevent hazardous negligence.
"#FriendsOfTheEarth Netherlands argued that there was an international consensus that #HumanRights offered protection against dangerous #Climate Change and that companies had to respect human rights.
"Shell's successful appeal could have far-reaching implications for corporate climate responsibility.
"A number of #environmental groups around the world are now trying to force companies and governments to comply with the accords through the courts."

Oil and gas supermajors recorded big profits in 2023
By Nancy Vu
February 2, 2024
"Three of the largest oil and gas producers this week reported strong combined profits of $85.6 billion in 2023.
On Friday, #Exxon Mobil reported $36 billion in profit for the year, supported by further oil and gas production. #Chevron outlined profits of $21.4 billion — the second-largest profits in a decade for both. #Shell on Thursday, reported adjusted earnings of $28.25 billion for the year, down significantly from 2022 but also the second-largest in a decade.
"'In 2023, we returned more cash to shareholders and produced more oil and natural gas than any year in the company’s history,' said Mike Wirth, Chevron’s chairman and chief executive officer.
"For Exxon and Chevron, the resilient profits were partly driven by strong growth in oil and gas production in the United States. The companies’ renewed focus on domestic #FossilFuel production has spurred backlash from #environmentalist activists.
"The decrease in profits in 2023 reflects that oil prices have weakened since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. However, some of the figures beat estimates from Wall Street. Exxon and Chevron were able to report higher than expected earnings per share during the fourth quarter but fell short of expected revenue. Shell was able to report higher than anticipated earnings for the final quarter and net income for the full year.
"Exxon was able to return $32.4 billion to shareholders last year, Chevron $26.3 billion, and Shell returned $23 billion to shareholders.

Shell Oil Nonprofit Donated to Anti-Climate Groups Behind Project 2025
Shell USA Company Foundation funnels $100k's to right-wing groups
https://mastodon.social/@persagen/112994809140765750
A US foundation associated with the oil company Shell has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to religious right and conservative organizations, many of which deny that climate change is a crisis, tax records reveal.
Fourteen of those groups are on the advisory board of Project 2025, a conservative blueprint proposing radical changes to the federal government, including severely limiting the Environment Protection Agency

As the #ESRIUC2024 continues this week in San Diego, and the #greenwashing goes full throttle in the plenary session, let's pause to remember that #ESRI partners with the #OilAndGasIndustry and enables all sorts of climate crimes.
Here is the #Petrofuture map of San Diego, 66m sea level rise on a vintage #ShellOil gas station map.
The #IPCC has estimated that if all the ice caps melt, the resulting rise in sea levels would be 66 meters. This is the level of sea rise I show in the map.
Expecting #ShellOil or #exxonmobilcorp to take responsibility is wishing your cake dough
