Line 26:
On June 17th of [[2004]], Shell chairman [[Ron Oxburgh]] made a [http://www.guardian.co.uk/climatechange/story/0,12374,1240566,00.html statement] to [[The Guardian]] that in the face of the threat of [[global climate change|global warming]] he was "really very worried for the planet”. As a remedy he proposed the practice of [[CO2 sink|carbon sequestration]], which involves removing [[carbon dioxide]] from the atmosphere and burying it underground. "Sequestration is difficult, but if we don't have sequestration then I see very little hope for the world," he said.
The origin of the name Shell is found in its corporate history. Shell's primary business was initially selling seashells, as they were popular to collect at the time. Shell's initial move into the oil business was initially a side-venture.
