  • In a written summary of Tuesday’s ruling, the court said that Shell has a duty of care to limit its emissions, but it annulled the lower court’s decision because it was “unable to establish that the social standard of care entails an obligation for Shell to reduce its CO2 emissions by 45%, or some other percentage.

    “There is currently insufficient consensus in climate science on a specific reduction percentage to which an individual company like Shell should adhere.”

    We can’t determine that cutting your emissions would do anything beneficial, even though something would be better than doing nothing, but we will let you do nothing instead. Jesus.

    Shell could meet that obligation by ceasing to trade in the fuels it purchases from third parties. Other companies would then take over that trade.

    So how would that be a reduction? How are you going to quantify THAT as a reduction? If we are going with unquantifiable reductions, why don’t we go with direct emissions like originally planned.



  • They are like station wagons, or the rings of power. Only about 20 were made and they just change hands because they are indestructible.

    Three wood laminate bowls were given to the elves for they craved salty snacks

    Seven were given to the dwarves, so they could munch deep in their basements

    Nine were given to men, to hold their ramen. They later became edgelords, twisted by the dark lord Joe Rogan

    One was crafted in secret, and holds Cheetos in the white house.
