Oil companies benefit from the climate change scare because they stand to benefit from the coal to natural gas transition for power generation. This makes environmentalists patsies as opposed to the enemy.
Shell was a contributor to the catastrophists’ cause early on. For example, this email from Climategate:

Shell shows up as a participant in other emails, and in the files associated with CRU. And I think that Chris Horner has documented their involvement with Enron and the Kyoto Treaty.
They are not appeasing the predator, they are one of the predators.
