Enough is enough, it’s time for a polluters tax to end this loathsome profiteering from our climate misery

Reacting to Shell’s latest announcement of huge Q1 profits and an immediate $4bn shareholder dividend handout, Dorothy Guerrero Head of Policy and Campaigns at Global Justice Now said:

It’s hard to stomach another iniquitous profit announcement from Shell, all whilst the country struggles in the grips of a cost of living crisis. Rather than putting some of its $9bn profit towards reducing energy bills or paying for its climate damages, Shell has instead chosen to dole out over $4bn to its shareholders. Enough is enough, we need a polluters tax to put that money back where it belongs and end this loathsome profiteering off our climate misery.
