Six Greenpeace Activists Occupy a Shell Oil Platform

The incredible story of six Greenpeace activists who boarded and occupied a Shell oil platform.

The platform was making its way towards the North Sea to unlock new oil wells.

The demand was clear: Shell must stop drilling for new oil and gas, and start paying up for causing decades of climate damage.

The protest continued for 13 days and almost 4,000km.

Nothing but respect goes out to those activists. This issue especially involving fossil giants really bothers me and it is always highly frustrating when you come across greenwashing adverts. Keep up your vital work Greenpeace!

I think Greenpeace should form a political party and influence legally.

Well done Greenpeace. I'm supporting with a monthly donation

AKA: Greenpeace commits piracy on the high seas. When desperately poor Somalis do the same thing, half the blue water navies on the planet send warships to stop them.

Really well presented video and empowering messaging. A small addition to hearts and mind, is hearts, mind and hands, ie do something, be seen, be present be part of the solution.

Useless endeavor, they must not understand capitalism, if shell decided right now to cease all operations another company would fill the gap in demand

So Shell are suing for damages. Like they really need to recoup the $2.1million when their revenue for 2022 was over $380BILLION. That is like me suing someone for 2 dollars.

It is not about damages, it is about bullying.
