[DurhamDivest] Shell and BP want to have their oil and drink it too

[Susan Wesley]

Hi Everyone

The need to divest is pressing after reading this article. It's mind 
boggling to try and understand how these companies, who know about 
climate change, still will not move into renewable energy projects.

*BP and Shell planning for catastrophic 5°C global warming despite 
publicly backing Paris climate agreement*

“Shell and BP want to have their oil and drink it too, by advocating for 
the landmark Paris Agreement to limit global temperature rises to below 
2°C degrees, while planning for scenarios that would violate it,” he said.
The group called on Shell and BP shareholders, which include powerful 
institutional investors, to demand that the two oil companies do more to 
tackle climate change.”

Enjoy your day
