One way exists to stop global warming, but the mutual feedback cycles that are now accelerating global warming might already have achieved enough speed of increasing temperature so as to prevent even that one way from working, and therefore the planet might already be doomed. Since the only way to stop global warming hasn’t yet even been proposed (much less tried), I shall now publicly propose it here, in accord with the adage “Better late than never.”

Shell to Appeal Landmark Dutch Court Ruling on Climate Goals Source: By Laura Hurst, Bloomberg • Posted: Wednesday, July 21, 2021
Royal Dutch Shell Plc said it will appeal a ruling by a Dutch court which ordered it to cut its carbon emissions by 45% over the next decade.
Shell has said it will speed up its energy transition plans in response to the order, but is looking to overturn it so it can stick to its own climate timetable. After intense pressure from investors, the May 26 ruling showed companies’ hands may increasingly be forced by courts, and result in far-reaching implications for the global energy industry.

Shell has said that it will appeal a ruling issued by the District Court in The Hague in May 2021 that Shell must reduce its global net carbon emissions by 45% by 2030 compared to 2019 levels.
Shell said that the court did not consider the details of its Powering Progress strategy, which was published in April 2021, because the hearings that led to the ruling took place several months earlier.
“We agree urgent action is needed and we will accelerate our transition to net zero,” said Shell Chief Executive, Ben van Beurden. “But we will appeal because a court judgment, against a single company, is not effective. What is needed is clear, ambitious policies that will drive fundamental change across the whole energy system. Climate change is a challenge that requires both urgent action and an approach that is global, collaborative and encourages coordination between all parties.”

Shellgeht nach einer herben Niederlage vor zwei Monaten zum Gegenangriff über. Der Energiekonzern will selbstbestimmt in eine klimafreundliche Zukunft und zieht nun wieder vor Gericht.
Wogegen geht Shell in Berufung?
Am 26.Mai fällte ein niederländisches Gericht ein fatales
Urteil gegen Shell: Der Öl-Riese muss bis 2030 die Nettoemissionen seines gesamten Geschäftstreibens um 45% reduzieren. Shell hatte sich selbst das Ziel gesteckt, bis 2030 nur eine Reduktion von 20% des Kohlenstoff-Fußabdrucks zu erreichen. Bis 2035 sollte dann die 45%-Marke fallen. Zur Mitte des Jahrhunderts wäre dann der gesamte Konzern klimaneutral. Shell fühlt sich durch die Verurteilung ungerecht behandelt und wird in Berufung gehen.
