Shell Oil execs joined by climate profiteers and parasites for hi-profile propaganda trek to Antarctica

Who but the richest business and political bullies in the world can put together a 70 person expedition to the Antarctic

• with the intention of coming back with news favoring their side? Which of course isn't really about the climate anyway.
  

Oil companies will gladly go along with the political upheaval promised by so-called global warming, spending a bundle to add to the 24/7 Soros induced fake warming campaign. Carbon trading at stake perhaps? Or just a new political system. In any event, blaming the oil companies won't work because most of them

• are for the political, economic, and social upheaval promised by global warming profiteers.

Gulf Times, 2/28/10: "Abdulla al-Misnad of Shell is going to Antarctica on a mission to help raise awareness in Qatar about climate change, and the importance of protecting the environment.

• The Qatari national will join 2041’s ‘Inspire Antarctica Expedition’ from March 5 to 18. The trip will educate participants about global warming, conservation, and Antarctica’s fragile ecosystem.

Al-Misnad will be joined by Sheikh Abdulaziz al-Nuaimi of the UAE, a Shell envoy on the mission. The duo will be part a team of 70 people from 28 countries, who will be exploring the world’s most remote continent.

• In 2041 the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty could potentially be modified or amended, thus opening up the currently protected land for mineral exploration.The 2041 expeditions aim to raise awareness of this deadline and build a global consensus that the moratorium on mineral development in Antarctica should be extended beyond 2041.

Shell’s executive vice president Qatar Andy Brown stated that the initiative aligns with Qatar National Vision 2030, seeking to preserve and protect the environment to achieve a sustainable future.

• “Shell sees the Antarctic expedition as an opportunity to raise the profile of sustainable development both within the company and in the broader community, while focusing on local people in regions where Shell operates,” he said.

Al-Misnad and Sheikh Abdulaziz will explore the southern continent with a team of corporate leaders, environmentalists, entrepreneurs, and teachers.

• Antarctica is the only continent without a native human population. About 98% of its landmass is covered by ice.Antarctica is known as the coldest, windiest, and driest continent. Its arid climate means that it is considered an icy desert.

Al-Misnad recently joined Shell as a commercial adviser and is working on Shell’s CO2 management activities based in Doha.

Overseeing the two ambassadors and the expedition team will be the founder of the 2041 organisation and its Inspire Antarctic Expeditions,

• Robert Swan, a polar explorer, environmental activist, leader and inspirational public speaker.One of the first persons to set foot on both the North and South poles, Swan shares this experience to guide people toward green minded solutions.

“As Qataris we have the same responsibilities as other youth all over the world, and it is our responsibility to challenge the knowledge that has been handed down to us, from the way we use water at home, to the way we design gas-processing plants,” al-Misnad.

Through presentations, videos, and photographs the two environmental ambassadors will help raise awareness of environmental issues in their home countries.
In Qatar, al-Misnad plans to visit schools across the country to share his experiences and inspire youth as well as spread his knowledge with his colleagues in Shell.
