February 2nd 2023 - The news out today is truly shocking. Shell has reported record profits for 2022. Their haul doubled last year to almost 40 BILLION dollars.

THAT AMOUNTS TO OVER 100 MILLION DOLLARS PROFIT EVERY DAY!

Despite the news, governments will sit on their hands and do nothing to remove these criminal profits from the greedy hands of oil giants - and these are the profits made by just one company alone. Let me remind you: $40 BILLION profit during a year when oil prices spiked across the globe. That is not a coincidence. How many billions did all the other oil companies make combined? They must be laughing in their limousines.

UPDATE: 7th FEBRUARY 2023 - BP ANNOUNCE RECORD PROFITS IN 2022.

BP doubled its profits to $30 BILLION last year whilst simultaneously cutting back on its plans to reduce oil and gas production by 2030. They literally do not care about anything other than profit.

See here for a BBC report on how Shell and BP pay next to no tax in the UK, despite their record-breaking profits. 

Whilst millions of people struggle to put food on the table and irreplaceable habitats and environments are destroyed as the earth's temperature rises, gangster capitalism allows a few rich people to make horrendous profits during this worsening global crisis. 

Please think again if you think climate activists are out of order. They have to keep marching, protesting, getting arrested and executed by police murder squads in order to remind us that we are literally paying rich people to kill our planet. Our soft-focus governments have to tax these billionaire companies now. It won't be long before it will be too late.
