Campaigners criticise plan to increase oil and gas production despite extreme heat in Europe
Shell has reported profits of just over $5bn (£3.9bn) for the second quarter of the year, prompting outrage among campaigners who called the figures obscene, and a protest at the company’s London headquarters.
The company’s second-quarter profits were down sharply from $11.5bn in the same months last year. Climate activists have criticised the company’s plan to increase oil and gas production despite record-breaking temperatures across Europe triggered by the climate crisis.
