Shell safety consultant quits over ‘double-talk on climate’
By Sheri Walsh: 23 MAY 2022
May 23 (UPI) — A Shell safety consultant has resigned over what she calls the oil company’s “extreme harms” to the environment and “disregard for climate change risks.”
Caroline Dennett submitted her resignation to Shell executives and 1,400 employees Monday in an email and public video, accusing the U.S. company of “failing on a massive planetary scale” and blasting the oil giant’s plans to expand fossil fuel extraction.
“Today I’m quitting because of Shell’s double talk on climate,” Dennett said in her video. “Shell’s stated safety ambition is to ‘do no harm’, ‘Goal Zero’ they call it and it sounds honorable. But they are completely failing on it.”
Dennett worked as a senior safety consultant with Shell for 11 years. She specializes in evaluating safety procedures in high-risk industries, and started working with Shell after BP’s Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010.
“I can no longer work for a company that ignores all the alarms and dismisses the risks of climate change and ecological collapse,” Dennett said.
The former Shell consultant called the fossil fuel industry “the past” and urged other workers to leave the industry.
“If you can find a way out, then please walk away while there’s still time,” she said.
The resignation comes one day before Shell’s annual general meeting in London. Shell is expected to face scrutiny Tuesday from activists who want the company’s policies to line up with the Paris climate accord.
Last year, Shell released a net-zero strategy, but still plans to explore new fossil fuel projects until 2025. Shell responded to Dennett’s comments by saying it plans to hit all of its targets by 2050.
“We’re already investing billions of dollars in low-carbon energy, although the world will still need oil and gas for decades to come in sectors that can’t be easily decarbonized,” the company said.
Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
