Joe Lycett is the definition of chaotic good. The hero we need.
Underrated comment :)
he sounds scummy to me
@@fantabulous_unicorncoachin338 Ironically it was the top comment for me xD
There could be an argument that he is lawful good, considering his motives...
That statement is effectively "we're going to keep selling oil until we physically can't anymore while others come up with the alternative"
"also watch this ad, see how green we are, just don't bother looking any further"
The moment where they had to stop was literally 30 years ago. I wonder if you can sue shell for mass murder? Considering that our race faces certain extinction because of their actions. Thankfully i dont have kids..
so? actually Shell is pioneering work on Hydrogen as a fuel
Makes sense, otherwise society would simply collapse. We already know many of the alternatives, unfortunately we don't follow them.
I love the introduction, basically saying "Listen, I'm not a perfect eco warrior, but in all fairness, whilst it's important we make a difference individually, no change will come until we talk to massive companies about their harmful practices"
Exactly, of course we can help do our bit. But let's be honest, the ones making the biggest environmental damage are the corporations not us as individuals.
He still has the David Bowie chair he won of Noel Fielding in taskmaster!
That chair is everything, thank you for letting me know where I can watch it’s origination❤
“probably shouldn’t be wearing a t shirt for this” *puts on a bomber jacket*
Was going to say the exact same thing but I saw your post I didn't want to overstate it.
But it is so funny. ✌️
I love the way Joe and their crew weaves these segments, from talking about how corporatations have no soul and how being queer feels relevant to questioning authority, to the light hearted plant shopping and twitter post. Absolutely genius 🙏🏻
The look on Joe's face when when Dr Birol said "that's a very good question"…
“Who do you work for?”
“God.”
“God! Cool!”
Really wanted him to just say "Nice, amen."
Surreal to see him being serious, but it’s a welcome change
They should be frightened. The least ideal interviewer for Shell would have a quick wit, a conscience, morality and humanity. And experience being heckled, speaking in front of thousands, facing queerphobic shitheads, and internet trolls... should add up to a pretty frightening opponent. Please keep bothering them, Joe.
Yes keep going, dont stop!
I'm sure the multi billion dollar oil company are completely terrified..... Of Joe Lycett
@@lukebarnes8097 Nah. No company would be. A company isn't capable of emotions. Some of the staff might be afraid of Joe Lycett though. The financial ramifications for the company, losing contracts, or the possibility of losing their job if they say a few wrong words... I would be afraid. They might lose a billion dollars for their company. Them's high stakes.
Don't you mean Hugo Boss?
I like Joe Lycett but a multi billion dollar company and one of the biggest in the world isn't going to be scared of some guy on British telly
Arjan Lubach did a dutch spoken serie on exactly the same thing. Maybe work together? He speaks English perfectly and is a good artist too.
Arjen is definitely a worthy partner in this endeavour!
Thank you for bring something important up like this, especially whilst COP26 is currently going on. Hopefully more and more people will understand the importance of climate change and how imperative it is for changes to be made (especially by these large corporations)
The pressure to recycle and Lower your carbon footprint is ridiculous! It accounts for 1%!!! it’s the big companies that can make a big difference- but nobody is making them do anything.
And all the elites, their houses and jets etc.
Plastics make up about 90% of the worlds' landfill and about 95% of the oceans pollution. So keep recycling, there is a reason for it.
@@bradwilliams6767 do you know where 70% of the recycling goes? It doesnt get recycled.
@@lachatnoir1127 Well that's reason to do more recycling.
@@bradwilliams6767 well when you research it , you'll find it gets dumped to 3rd world countries who have zero recycling. It doesnt get recycled.
British comedians will just do every kind of TV show imaginable nowadays. Not a complaint, I love it. You go Joe!
I agree. And this one benefits the people so it’s even better! 😄
I want to make a difference. I want to help our future planet. Yet I am struggling to keep up with what I can do. I recycle, I’m mindful of my purchases but I do wonder, why are we when big business aren’t? It appears they are making token ‘attempts’ and holding us (the general population working to survive) accountable. Rude. BTW, love ya work Joe xx. Keep fighting the good fight mate. 🇦🇺
I'm sure many people share your thoughts! There are several ways you can push for changes bigger than individual actions:
- Use your vote / right to protest
- Contact local politicians to tell them what you care about
- Switch your pension to divest from fossil fuels (said to be the most impactful individual action you can do)
- Switch bank accounts too
- Sign petitions
Hope this helps even slightly, and know that you're not alone!
fellow aussie here and i totally feel you! it all feels so pointless and stacked against us. honestly, i think the only way we'll be able to force these massive corporations to change anything is by voting out the liberals and then pushing labor to take more drastic action. scomo was a total disgrace at COP26 recently, and the libs are nothing but awful every time they're in power. there'll be a federal election sometime in the next 6 months, so make sure you and those in your communities can make informed choices when the time comes.
You've got the right idea, at this point, individual actions will do very, very little in making any difference, we must hold leaders and corporations accountable. I don't know how, you know your country's situation better, but really really if we don't callout and force the biggest polluters to drastically change their ways, we will not be able to do much to reduce emissions. We can't afford a 2 degrees rise in temperature, so these big corporations and industries need to be stopped.
Check your investments. Is your superannuation ethical or green? What about your bank? Are they refusing to finance new coal mines, for example?
Using less electricity, taking public transport etc they're still important, but we still need fuel and electricity, but investment really matters.
Absolutely want to see more on this here!
5:15 could not agree more! As someone with aspergers the world is not built for people who think like me either. Great garden btw
hi! the term aspergers was named after a nazi who used the term to differentiate between "useful" and "high functioning" autistic people and the autistic people who couldn't funtion at a level that was useful for the nazis and would be killed and sterilised. Although it may be what you were diagnosed with, it's a harmful term that makes other autistic people feel dumb or broken.
I'm surprised you didn't add, 'absolute lad', to that list of careers.
It's not just a career, it's a way of life
You can compensate your CO2 output at Shell petrol stations, but the compensation is laughably low. A couple of euros per ton of CO2 even though it actually costs more like 150 to capture that much.
And this is another fabulous reason why I love Joe Lycett!
I like that Joe got excited when the Dr said he asked a good question.
I recognized the chair with David Bowie's face!!!

Marvellous work Joe 👏
"Ignorant leftie"! That's me!!😊
Haha. Love him! What a guy!
Joe should do a story on delivery apps and how they treat their drivers. Less than minimum wage, constant pressure to be quicker with barely any money. Instacart has one of the WORST ratings for food delivery, no customer service, email account being shut down and poorly trained staff. Hike up prices and sneak membership charges for customers to never get money back. Customers tip luring drivers into bad areas to be sexually assaulted, very unsafe and unforgiving company to work for
CEO is worth 1.2 BILLION dollars and offering a $0.40 heavy lifting fee for over 100 pound items. Fair work environment for all, they forget drivers are the ones that put money into his pocket. The same ppl he screws over everyday
A collab between you and Tim Hofman from Boos (Dutch show that sorta does the same and did a(nother) vid on Shell last week would be FAB. On this or pretty much any other topic. ❤️
Actually someone who said i care about environment and actually doing something about it instead of "raising awareness" for years
You should check out what Shell has been doing off the wild coast of South Africa
as long as it benefits us stockholders, I approve

Keep going Joe we need all the help we can get
I don't know if anybody else noticed, but, those security people had funny voices.
I have a gas cooker but I’ve only just thought I’ve not herd ever about lowering the fuel /gas used and how that would effect cookers and the plans they have to help those on low income switch to cookers that use another fuel or making gas from waste food or a different fuel to power the cookers electric cookers aren’t the answer as they are just as bad eco wise as the amount it takes to get that energy takes gas and other fuels even solar panels have to be on land with no trees no bushes so everything is cut bare they can be on buildings but often they aren’t they take up ground level land which takes up habit land and stops trees going

Is Rachel Riley still promoting Shell?
Under the impression that Dishwashers were more efficient than washing dishes in a sink? Like they use less water and heat water more efficiently than an equivalent amount of hand washing when the Dishwasher is full.
really? dang I thought we were so ecological for leaving ours alone
@@student8663 it does seem counter intuitive but they heat water hotter than a human can bear to put their hands in, it's a sealed system so less energy is need to keep it hot, and they use less water for an equivalent load because they pump the water through filters to keep it clean. The average is something like 12L per run. Which is about a washing up bowl's to the brim capacity, but for the amount I can fit in our dishwasher I'd replace the water 2 or 3 times doing it by hand so at like 2/3 full each time that's like 24L.
the sad truth of the matter is that we absolutely need oil
if not as fuel then as a lubricant
even an electric car won't run without any grease in it's bearings
Totally true all profit
nothing wrong with that
Swear I saw a weed plant tucked away in his garden.

I think the real answer is a bit easier...yeah there's enough Oil, but the Saudis and Russians own a lot of it, and we dont want to rely on that
'throw a plastic bottle in the garbage'
thats where the vast majority of it winds up anyway, recyling is largely bs for plastic.
It's so easy to turn a tap off when brushing your teeth.

And also...*What
@@notAshildr So make a subtitle stream available for the whole video. Don't put English subtitles over someone speaking English just because they're a bit foreign. That is just patronising and rude.
@@-_James_- I think it’s more to mitigate the slightly distorted audio of Dr Biral’s voice coming out of laptop speakers than because he has a non-English accent but I agree that gets annoying when programs seem to only subtitle non-native English speakers 🙁
@@MintyDragonfly I watched a video a while back by Dr Becky where she was interviewing someone with distorted audio. She made a point of explaining that's why she added subtitles before the interview started. There's a right way and a wrong way to deal with things like this. 🙂
hi
Reserves of oil are money in the bank - 'tis simple.
its bad business honestly, you dont put all your eggs in one basket, i dont get how these oil companies dont see that, they arent actually oil companies they are energy companies, and theres other ways to make energy, so why do they spend so much money on something that can run out and they have to go find more of all the time?
Most people are scared of the Brumby accent
"It's now or never" so never i guess🤷♂️
also to let walsley wood selby town council
Steven Donziger spent over 2 years on home confinement before being sentenced to a 6 month prison term for misdemeanor contempt of court courtesy of a Chevron sponsored court.....minus a jury.
This all came after Donziger, a now bankrupt and imprisoned attorney, won the largest class action civil suit in history against Chevron (9 billion), which has yet to pay out a single red cent.
Idk who this dude is, or thinks he is....but I do know if he tries hard enough he will end up Donzigers bunk buddy.
just make alternative energies' cheaper and capitalism will take care of this issue for you; you can't limit production of energy until the alternatives are in place, just as economical, and sustainable.. Nobody wants to talk about ow there isn't enough resources on earth for everyone to own an electric car, there aren't enough power stations to produce the electricity, and the ones currently release more emissions to charge your car than it's gasoline cousin release, and the infrastructure of power transmission cables couldn't handle the loads at ALL.
So what happens if an oil production site malfunctions and they didn't have the new locations to tap into.. You think there's an economy damaging shortage now, you have no idea how reckless this approach is.
Pointing the finger in the wrong direction.
Governments could just invest more money into alternatives and make it affordable. I'd wager if every major nation invested 5% of their GDP into this, they could have viable solutions within 2-3 years, but they don't. why? Because they don't want to admit while pandering for climate votes that the alternative sources aren't actually viable, and the grid isn't actually capable.
It’s also partly because the oil companies have their hands in the pockets of most governments, massive lobbying groups for oil and gas who essentially use their money to ensure viable alternatives are not given vast funding, lest they lose their stronghold on energy.
Incredibly sensible reply from Shell. 👍
Start by not buying from polluting countries. only buy local food. Stop using energy wastefully.
I’m sure he will be donating his salary to struggling families who can’t pay their energy bill this winter.
Right?

It's gross, however a phone company that rhymes with pipple did 2.5 times as much in revenue.
I knew Nipple was bad!
I'm not sure we should be relying on oil companies to just not sell oil anymore. Swap entirely to electric and produce all our energy with green tech, and we simply won't NEED to buy oil from them, whether they want us to or not.
it is still needed to produce many chemical intermediates. as well as coal
Today's consumption isn't built for people who will live in 147 years time
Make electric cars cheap, don’t try to force people to be skint buying £60000 Tesla.
How much does it take to produce wind farms? How easy is to recycle windmills? Can you recycle plastic/paper straws? How much CO2 you need to produce to make electric car battery? "Green energy" is a joke.
What the fuck does “can you plastic straws” mean
Sorta the point of windmills is that they last a very very long time so they don’t need to be recycled. The point is to use the resources we still have to make things that can last and continue to produce cleaner energy for as long as possible, rather than just continue to use up the limited resources we have right now and be left with nothing at the end of it. Electric cars are a difficult issue because you’re right about both production and disposal, hopefully there are scientists out there trying to come up with alternatives as we move toward the electric vehicle Renaissance, but they’re the only major alternative option to gasoline fuelled vehicles right now and apparently are slightly better for the environment overall so that’s our lot for now. If your solution to the undeniable fact that we’re heading towards both an irreversible pollution nightmare and total consumption of all the natural gas/oil fuel resources in the world is to say “green energy is a joke”, you’re trying to make yourself feel smarter without actually thinking at all. “Green energy” as it exists now might not be perfect or completely clean, but it’s certainly better than the alternative when you consider the future of the environment.
its a con
Shell, and all other companies still looking for oil, need to be stopped by any, and I do mean ANY, means necessary.

That said, reducing oil use is GOOD... but eliminating its use is not gonna happen any time soon.
I Do enjoy your work though! Thank you! :)
nobody said anything about eliminating oil use completely
@@vffncl0 Fair enough.

What about energy production?
Can I burn diesel in a generator to charge my electric car? What about burning diesel in a generator to power my mother's life support? (Hypothetically)
Is plastic still ok?
Respectfully, do you get my point?
@@LuciferTJ Respectfully, did you even watch the video? lol. They want to restrict drilling new oil fields and use more renewable energy.
@@vffncl0 I absolutely did.
I'm guessing you're still not following me.
If you stop drilling for more oil, you don't replenish the oil you've used up.
Therefore, it doesn't matter if you're using it for cars or heat or to make new EV's - you still NEED oil to continue producing.
What'cha think lubricates the factories that produce things like cell phones, Tesla cars, solar panels, wind turbines?
Everything in our current world utilizes oil in SOME capacity. If ALL the vehicles on the road globally, immediately stopped using petroleum based products as a FUEL SOURCE, you'd STILL be tearing through obnoxious amounts of oil.
So if you DON'T keep finding more sources, not only will you not have replenishment for the oil consumed, but the costs of any product that uses plastic (as an example) will skyrocket. We're literally experiencing this currently as one of the bigger governments holding the buying power for oil products has openly admitted to attempting to stop oil production. As a result, oil produces are doing everything they can to save their business before their business is literally legislated out-of-business.
If I harvest mushrooms and the government says they're going to make mushrooms illegal in 5 years, do you think I would be investing in mushroom cleaning infrastructure? Would I be hiring more people to harvest mushrooms? Would I be taking out loans to expand my business?
Or would I be shrinking my business, reducing staffing, reducing production and as the supply drops, I raise my prices as that's what the free market allows me to do, all the way up until the end where my business is essentially shuttered through restrictions, limitations and policy?
Which seems more likely to you?
@@LuciferTJ Sigh. They're not trying to quit oil drilling. They just don't want *new* oil *fields* as we already have/get so much oil from the current ones that the environment will be irreversibly damaged (according to climate change people) by the time we've used it all up.
I don't really see the point. They delivered a house plant to reception. Sent an angry tweet. Got a corporate spin doctor response. Reminded us that oil is bad. At least their heart's in the right place, I suppose.
Fan Fact: Anyone who is concerned about the environment but still chooses to eat meat and animal products aren't actually concerned about the environment!
Fun fact: farming plants uses technology that uses oil and pesticides :D
@@weebnation8923 Fun Fact: Factory farmed animals eat 7 times their own weight in plants before slaughter. So 7 times the oils and pesticides are used to create meat products than they are used to create plant based products. It also takes a swimming pool of water to make 27 hamburger patties.
Kinda shot yourself in the foot with that fact.
@@altoburger9692 fun fact farm animals eat parts of plants that arent digestiable for humans, are you american by any chance?
@@weebnation8923 I'm not American, however even if I was judging me based on my nationality says a lot about your character.
Whether the food we grow is meant for human consumption or animal consumption it requires the same about of oils and pesticides. Since factory farmed animals eat 7 times their own weight before slaughter, we're using 7 times the amount of oils and pesticides to create the same weight in meat as we do in plants. Congregate every factory farm on the planet into a single place and it would take up the space the size of Africa. If everyone on earth adopted a plant based diet then to provide the same amount of food to those people we'd only need 1/7th that space. The math is quite simple.
@@altoburger9692 you dont take into consideration that some people cant have just a plant based diet, hell humans arent meant for a fully plant based diet either, people have allergys or special food requirements that force them to have to not eat plants, what would they do? Veganism isnt meant for our bodies, we get nutrients from meat just like every other animal does, and before you say "this specific herbivore doesnt eat meat!" Guarentee they do/have, its been proven that when certain animals are low on nutrients they'll find the closest small animal/animal and eat it.
there are certain ways of going about it however forcing the meat industry to stop when theres more pressing matters like the oil and plastic industry is kinda narrow minded

Oh, it's because it's a physical barrier to stop the spread of an airborne disease while barely inconveniencing me at all.' That's questioning authority, and establishing that their advice was pretty reasonable. The government also tells you to wear a seatbelt, and sometimes they'll issue a 'boil water' notice. Believe it or not, they do want to keep you safe.
