Reacting to Shell’s announcement of $5.1bn earnings in Q2 of 2023, Izzie McIntosh, climate campaign manager at Global Justice Now, said:

“As extreme heat rips through large parts of the globe, and people still struggle to pay their bills, Shell has once again made obscene profits out of fuelling climate disaster. In a week where Rishi Sunak has been professing concern over the cost for consumers of green changes, it’s the height of hypocrisy to be letting big companies like Shell get away without paying for the pollution they’re causing. Our government must step in to make the fossil fuel industry pay, and begin to cut off its business model of profiting from destruction.”
