Und eben kam die Auflösung des Themas:
Es handelte sich um das erste Ergebnis des Yes lab
(http://www.theyesmen.org/lab), bei dem eine ad-hoc Gruppe namens "Nigerian
Justice League (NJL)" geschaffen wurde.
Also wenn das das erste Ergebnis eines workshops ist, dann bin ich echt auf die
Masterarbeiten gespannt! Die Sache war noch sehr leicht zu durchschauen, aber
es ist dennoch bereits bemerkenswert professionell.

"Shell, Chevron, and the others are perpetrating a massive, life-threatening
hoax by claiming that they can't quickly stop their gas flaring, reduce their
oil spills, and clean up their mess in the Niger Delta," said Chris Francis of
the Nigerian Justice League. "Our press release revealed the truth: that there
is a decent way forward, instead of the continual deceit we get from them."
Shell's public relations staff quickly and energetically moved to contain the
fallout from the fake release. On Tuesday, Shell attempted to eliminate the
Justice League's spoof Shell website by complaining that it was a "phishing
scheme" to the upstream internet service provider. Shell then sent a
threatening legal letter to the Danish internet provider hosting the site.
In a related story, the Financial Times (a blog of which, incidentally, was
duped by the fake release) refused to run a hard-hitting advertisement, created
and paid for by Amnesty International, that called for action against Shell for
its Niger Delta legacy. Like the fake release, the ad was timed to coincide
with Shell's May 18 AGM.
"For now, Shell's legal threats are bearing ripe fruit," said Esmée de la Parra
of the Nigerian Justice League. "But they can't keep blustering their way to
destruction forever. Eventually, people will have had enough. For the sake of
the planet, let's hope 'eventually' is very soon."

remediation plan
Wie ich einer Presseaussendung entnehmen darf, reagiert Royal Dutch Shell auf
die Ereignisse im Golf von Mexiko:
"At long last the words 'stakeholder' and 'sustainable' will actually mean
something," said CEO Voser. "CSR-ND means planning not just for short-term
profits, but for what actually matters, including the viability of the planet
itself."
Yes!
