As the oil-stained future becomes evermore visible, bodies on the frontlines are already paying the ultimate price, in heatwaves and high-tides, in fires and floods and devastating droughts. So it’s way past time that privileges were revoked for those that caused this catastrophe.

Time for Concertgebouw to drop Shell.
