    They effectively sell all of our fuel. I’m doing my best to avoid them but I’m in a fortunate position where I’m wealthy enough to use the alternatives which are 20% or so more money.

    I hope more do the same, then shell will die

        Not every single person needs a ban on fuel to stop using fuel.

        Some people require it to work and live, some people don’t realise they can live without it.

        Start at an individual level, analyse yourself, what alternative transport can you take, can you afford to pay extra for green energy tarrifs, can you stop going on long distance holidays?

        Once you’ve done it for yourself convince one other person to do the same. Good luck

          I already don’t own a car. What I’m worried about is all those wolves in sheeple’s clothing who are capable of the cruelty required to drive a car every day. The only way to deal with such evil people is by force; banning the sale of fuel at the governmental level.

            Good on you, seriously it’s refreshing to be reminded there are individuals out there which ar least try. However I feel educated humans are capable of making their own decisions and reduce their emissions without an iron fist. They just need to be educated.

            Problem is the only people replying to this thread will be the people who already do as much as they can to battle the issue, the people who drive/fly/eat meat and other wasteful things will not even bother to read this conversation.

            It’s hard, maybe you’re right

              In the last five years I have not had a single conversation with someone who denied that climate change is real and it’s manmade. However the vast majority had some excuse why either their country, some company, or themselves were not to blame and had a good reason to kill life on earth. I think you’re giving people too much credit by thinking they’re ignorant. I think people are intelligent and knowledgeable, and therefore evil.

      Can’t kill a megacorp like that this easily, they have ample time to invest their ill-gotten earnings elsewhere even in the most optimistic scenario. Most energy companies are branching out into renewables nowadays.

        That’s no excuse to not contribute towards greener alternatives

          It’s not an excuse, it’s about managing expectations. Having unrealistic expectations is dangerous for any movement.
