So, I guess the Netherlands will have to go back to purchasing natural gas from Russia again if the Warmists win
The Dutch NGO that won a historic court verdict in 2021 in a pioneering climate lawsuit against the oil major Shell announced on Tuesday that it is launching a new case against the company, with the core demand that Shell immediately stop investing in any new oil and gas fields.
“At a time in which the climate crisis continues to rage on because of the actions of companies such as Shell, every new oil or gas field is simply one too many. This is why we are once again taking our case to court,” Donald Pols, director of the Amsterdam-based organization Milieudefensie (Friends of the Netherlands), said in a statement.
In a letter addressed to Shell CEO Wael Sawan and its board chair Andrew Mackenzie, Milieudefensie says it believes that Shell is in breach of its duty of care obligation under Dutch law, due to the company’s “continued investment in new oil and gas fields and its inadequate climate policy for the period 2030 to 2050.”
The environmental organization argues that Shell has failed to change course to align its business activities with the objectives of the Paris Agreement, despite court decisions finding that the company has a legal responsibility to abide by the accord and reduce its entire supply chain emissions. Milieudefensie says it therefore has “no other option” but to take Shell to court once again.
So, where will the petroleum and natural gas come from to power the Netherlands? All the cars, boats, trucks, oh, all those airplanes and helicopters. There are quite a few airports, including their military ones. Too bad Shell won’t just go and pull their operations from the Netherlands. Or, at least refuse to sell to the government.
Looks like Shell will be looking for a new home soon.
Nutzoids that shouldn’t be allowed in a courtroom.
