An environmental law charity has lost an attempt to revive a lawsuit against Shell over its climate strategy after the high court in London refused permission to bring a case against the energy company.
The boss of oil and gas giant Shell has claimed that cutting down production would be “dangerous and irresponsible”, citing economic concerns, even as the world continues to see devastating impacts of the climate crisis.
Oil giant Shell is coming under criticism for its announcement that it will grow its petroleum business, even though it's under a court order to cut emissions because of climate change concerns.
Democrats on the House Oversight and Reform Committee previously grilled the chief executives of the four oil and gas companies, as well as two trade associations they fund, at a blockbuster six-hour hearing in October.
