Comments on: TV ad: Shell won’t stop gas flaring- poisoning people & the planet http://www.shellguilty.com/psa/ Sat, 04 Feb 2012 03:04:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: D. Brinley http://www.shellguilty.com/psa/comment-page-1/#comment-62 D. Brinley Tue, 26 May 2009 19:58:48 +0000 http://www.shellguilty.com/?p=389#comment-62 I know that its no fun to have facts get in the way of a nice emotional cause but your concious ignoring of the huge amount of effort Shell undertakes to reduce flaring (local energy creation, LNG export, structural upgrades)is not responsible. The Ogoni people receive millions of dollars in local infrastructure. Regarding the Saro Wiwa trial, again, if you have any command of the facts, you will know that Shell appealed for clemency in the case on behalf of Mr. Wiwa. I find it interesting that people, who would otherwise be outraged at the idea of a multi-national using its weight to direct or strongly influence a country's politics and social agenda are suddenly upset when a company does not do that, but leaves political matters to a country's government. Do you really want Shell and others starting to play that role? On reflection I would think not.
