Oil giant Shell has succeeded in overturning a landmark 2021 court ruling that ordered it to cut CO2 emissions by 45 percent from 2019 levels by 2030. The appeals court in The Hague said that while companies like Shell had the responsibility to contribute to mitigating climate change, there was not enough consensus in climate science on a specific reduction percentage to impose on them. Plus, Facebook says it will offer users in Europe an option to see fewer personalised ads, in order to appease EU regulators.
