Hi John,

 

In the past 3 months the UK was hit by Storm Babet, Libya was devastated by floods, and Brazil battled cyclones.

 

But the fossil fuel giants driving this climate crisis have been getting filthy rich in the meantime. Shell has raked in a staggering £5.1 BILLION in profit in the past 3 months. [1]

 

Don’t allow climate criminals like Shell to continue profiting off the climate crisis. Take a stand now by signing our huge people-powered petition urging world leaders to hold them to account.

Amid Shell's glossy adverts about wind farms and tree planting, their actions tell a different story. They're increasing fossil fuel production and scaling back on renewables. In short: Shell is lying to us about their green energy transition while fuelling the climate crisis.

 

What’s even more shocking is that countries least responsible for emissions, like Pakistan and Malawi, are being hit first and worst by the climate crisis, while Shell continues to pollute and make billions. [2, 3]

 

Shell gets away with driving this chaos because they have an army of lobbyists who hold sway over world leaders. Shell may have millions but we’ve got millions of ordinary people on our side and if we unite, we can overpower Big Oil’s lobbying.

 

So please can you make our collective voice as loud as possible by signing our enormous petition? The more signatures we get, the harder it will be for politicians to ignore us and they will be forced to stop putting Big Oil over the demands of ordinary people.

It’s easy to feel powerless in the face of this corporate greed and climate chaos, but people everywhere are rising up against Big Oil right now.

 

The state of California is currently taking some of the world's biggest oil companies to court to make them pay for climate damages. [4] This is a historic legal challenge that could allow countless more communities to hold Big Oil to account.

 

This just shows what can be done when ordinary people take the fight to Big Oil. Together we can and will win - so thank you for taking action.

 

 

In solidarity,
