Tell Shell to Dispel ALEC's Climate Disinformation

The CEO of Royal Dutch Shell, one of the world's largest oil and gas companies, recently stood up for climate science and said, "We're not aligning with skeptics." But Shell continues to fund the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a group that has been spreading disinformation about climate change for years.

We need to let Shell know that actions speak louder than words when it comes to standing up for science. Tell Shell to stop funding ALEC's climate disinformation!
Dear Mr. van Beurden,

I was encouraged to hear you make clear recently that "for us climate change is real and it's a threat we want to act on."

I would like to believe your claim that, "We're not aligning with skeptics." But Shell's involvement in the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is simply inconsistent with your company's position on climate change.

Just this summer, politicians attending ALEC's annual meeting in Dallas were misled to believe that, "There is no scientific consensus on the human role in climate."

As you and I know, there is no debate within the scientific community — climate scientists agree that climate change is real and largely caused by humans.

In failing to clearly address Shell's membership in ALEC, you are ignoring advice from the independent experts who review your company's sustainability reporting. ALEC's disinformation poses a clear and present threat to communities at risk from climate change.

More than 90 companies have already left ALEC amidst increased public scrutiny of the group's anti-science agenda on clean energy, climate change, and other issues.

I urge Shell to do the same and stop funding ALEC's climate disinformation now.

Sincerely,
[Your name]
