In response to Shell CEO call for carbon pricing in today’s speech at the Oil and Money Conference, Greenpeace campaigner Charlie Kronick, said:

“Carbon pricing is a costly distraction from meaningful action on emissions. While it appears progressive, the devil is in the detail.

“The oil industry’s support for climate action appears conditional on those actions having zero impact on its core business or its plans for unchecked expansion.

Reacting to news that Shell is ending its Arctic drilling programme, Greenpeace UK executive director John Sauven said:

“Big oil has sustained an unmitigated defeat. They had a budget of billions, we had a movement of millions. The ‘unpredictable regulatory environment’ that forced Shell out of the Arctic is otherwise known as massive pressure from more than 7 million people. For three years we faced them down, and the people won.
