Re: Shell Oil, Mother Jones reports:
Shell’s profits have climbed to $14 billion for the first half of 2024 after its decision to focus on fossil fuels over low-carbon energy delivered stronger than expected earnings for a second consecutive quarter.
Europe’s biggest oil and gas company rewarded its shareholders with a further $3.5 billion in share buybacks after reporting adjusted earnings of $6.3 billion in the three months to the end of June.
The latest results, which have taken the company’s total profits for the first half of the year to $14 billion and its share buybacks to $7 billion, have angered climate campaigners as Shell continues to grow its global gas business and pull back on investment in low-carbon energy.
At least these people are being honest. They openly admit that they’re destroying the planet in order to make huge profits.
That’s a hell of a lot more than ExxonMobil can say with their enormous PR campaigns designed to convince us that they’re transitioning to hydrogen, biofuels, our whatever their latest round of bullshit is focused on.
As suggested in the photo above, this whole situation would evaporate the moment that Big Oil had to pay even a tiny portion of the costs that our civilization is suffering in terms of environmental damage.
From Mother Jones: Shell Is Doubling Down on Fossil Fuels. We’re Paying the Price
For those who struggle with elementary school arithmetic, Trump won the election (50%+ approval) out of more than 150 million votes cast, and now his approval rating is in the low 30s.
That’s ~30 million voters who regret their choices, out of the common American.
Add in the Tucker Carlsons of the world.
Absolutely.
It must be done, because our country is home to some hateful morons who want to see honest, hardworking, taxpaying people with brown skin deported, and their families torn apart.
It wasn’t the American way until recently, but it sure is now.
As shown at left, the United States is loaded with people who twist the facts to their liking.
