Shell was held liable because it is the largest emitter in the Netherlands.
Their defence "but if we don't deliver the fossil fuels other companies will", which was not taken over by the court. The Judge (paraphrased) said "Those other companies will also have to reduce their carbon emissions".

- dbingham 5y agoJust for clarity's sake, the argument you're referring to is the "If we don't do it, others will" argument that Shell made, right?
- solarkraft 5y agoYep.
