Shell climate crimes exposed in new report

Fresh evidence of oil giant Shell’s colossal contribution to global climate change and its continued investment in carbon intensive fossil fuels has been revealed today in a new report. The report also reveals new internal documents that show Shell knew of the environmental dangers of gas flaring in Nigeria more than fifteen years ago, but chose not to stop flaring purely for financial reasons...Today’s report, 'Shell's Big Dirty Secret', comes after a global backlash against the energy giant’s abuses of human rights and the environment.
