Found this book on Amazon and thought was interesting. It appears to be tied to this website: https://royaldutchshellplc.com/2021/08/ ... -meltdown/

Edit: The operator of the site - which appears to be a hit site on Shell Oil - has a bunch of Wikipedia criticism on the main site too: https://royaldutchshellplc.com/tag/wikipedia/

This is very interesting. I've got some Amazon gift card money right now. I think I'm going to buy this book.

Finally, this one would greatly sway the Reddit hive mind and beyond since people especially youngsters hate fossil fuel companies and worries about climate change nowadays.

Again, like the TJ Coles book, this was self-published. SIX YEARS AGO. And no one noticed (except possibly a few Shell critics). You will find no reviews of it anywhere--not even on Amazon. Good luck getting Redditors to notice.

Most, if not ALL, articles about major oil companies are being paid-edited and warred in a similar way. They are always good places to see commonplace paid accounts quietly removing embarrassments. You should have seen the hell-tsunami from the Deepwater Horizon disaster and the BP employee openly doing happytime edits. I haven't even tried to poke into fossil-fuel editwars in WP except for that one--because numerous "prominent people" were involved in it. All forgotten today "oh well that was ten years ago".
