Ah, Shell. Those lovable scamps. Those lovable planet-burning, science-suppressing, activist-murdering scallywags. Look at them being all responsible and green-thinking and not at all responsibility-shifting in their lovely and down to Earth Twitter feed:

📊 What are you willing to change to help reduce emissions? #EnergyDebate

Sigh. What can you even do in response to such bullsh*t? Short of those guillotines we all ordered arriving soon the best we can do sometimes is just vent. As futile as it may seem, sometimes it’s good just to let some anger out:

Expropriate your assets, give them to your workers to support a just transition, and manage the decline of fossil fuels.

The absolute gall of you to post this, as if it's individual consumers who are most responsible for the situation we're in and not you ghouls

We’re willing to shut you down before you murder any more environmentalists who get in the way of you extracting oil.

If anyone doesn’t know about it, they’re called the Ogoni 9 and you can read about Shell’s involvement in killing them here:https://t.co/7veHbB7OFD

Hey remember when you paid $15 million to the families of executed Nigerian environmental activists, including Ken Saro Wiwa, after they sued you for your role in their arrests and deaths?https://t.co/jr5rLBzEbO

put Shell executives in prison

— Rob (@robrousseau) November 2, 2020

Nationalize the fossil fuel industry, transition workers to Shell-paid-for cleanup of all fossil fuel extraction sites, then to working renewable installation/maintenance, pay reparations, hold trials for CEOs.

Be thankful we’re not at your homes with torches and pitchforks.

— Jeff Spakowski (@JeffSpakowski) November 2, 2020

Destroy the fossil fuel industry entirely.

Shell is one of the biggest climate polluters in the world. This transnational company has known about the severity of climate change and the impacts of oil and gas drilling for decades, but has not only misled the public on the issue, it continues drilling for fossil fuels.

Laws so that every one of your executives is tried for crimes against humanity.

To whoever low paid employee actually writing these tweets, reconsider your life choices soonest. If you are young, chances are that you will live to long enough to become a scapegoat.

It's not much, but I'm trying to do my small part by not actively suppressing climate change data for four decades.

— Gavin Shoebridge (@KiwiEV) November 2, 2020

i'm willing to change all of your executives into paupers
