A Dutch court ordered Shell to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions 45% by 2030.

When I first read about this, the vague words did not make it clear whether this meant a 45% decrease in the emissions from Shell's own operations, or a 45% decrease in emissions from the energy and fuel that Shell delivers to customers. That difference is crucial: the former would be insignificant, while the latter would be revolutionary.

From this article, I think it is the latter. Hooray! Even though this is just the first of many such battles, Hooray anyway!
