You are arguing the very long term prospects for oil and gas aren't great. I agree.
But that has little to do with whether or not this case will have any impact on oil and gas extraction. It's just a PR move, which won't affect the number of barrels pumped out of the ground each year.
- epistasis 5y agoI'm not quite sure what you mean by "just a PR move" since this has strong legal implications with a timeline for one of the big players. Shell has been dealt a major legal blow, and precedent has been set for all the smaller players. This will have big impacts for financing future fossil fuel extraction, because all the financiers see what's happened here. This has major implications, there's no PR anywhere near this.
