Shell's $1-$2 billion planned annual investment in renewables is dwarfed by the $25 billion invested in traditional fossil fuels. This company is planning to fail the Paris agreement. Time to change direction Mr Van Beurden! https://t.co/yrFKttIu6z via @telebusiness

With the facts of the #IPCC report laid bare, what is your vision for the *most* effective way to scale up so that our global response to climate change matches the urgency needed? How do we peak emissions by 2020? If your choice isn't shown, pls explain.#1o5C #ClimateEmergency
