Shell continues Arctic invasion amidst profit announcement, merger talk

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Shell is expected to release its Q2 profits report tomorrow, amidst efforts to drill in the American Arctic Ocean and plans for a merger with liquefied natural gas giant BG Group.

Lukas Ross, activista de la campaña por el clima y la energía de Amigos de la Tierra, emitió la siguiente declaración en respuesta:

As Shell prepares to plunder the Arctic, its obscene profits are a sad reminder that taxpayers bear the cost, while shareholders reap the profits. Ending fossil fuel subsidies is a crucial step towards protecting the Arctic, other pristine places and our climate.
