Shell oil lies to children about global warming

This video says about itself:

28 February 2017

Shell Oil Company made Climate of Concern in 1991 as a warning against the dangers of climate change; then they ignored it.

Oil giant Shell has spent millions lobbying against action on climate change. Yet a video uncovered by journalism platform The Correspondent has revealed that the company was acutely aware of the dangers of global warming as early in 1991 when it produced a short documentary warning against the threat of global warming.

‘Fossil fuel industry spreads climate lies in education’

Thursday, September 7, 2017

Fossil fuel corporations use primary schools to influence what children learn about energy. Thus, in a Shell pupils’ package, natural gas is said to be part of the solution to the climate problem.

Fossil-free education

A study by Fossil-Free Education shows that fossil companies through primary education, but also through secondary education, influence society. They proclaim that energy transition should not be rushed and that we still need fossil fuel. The fossil corporations try to delay the energy transit as long as possible. They want to sell as much of their coal, oil and gas as possible.

Reduce fossil fuel

The Dutch Party for the Animals has asked questions about the fossil industry in primary education. The minister confirmed that fossil fuels should be reduced to achieve the climate targets of Paris. To reduce global warming to 1.5 degrees, as agreed in the climate agreement, fossil fuels should be reduced to zero in ten years.
