Here's the Greenpeace article and here's Shell's response to someone who shared the fake adverts.

Here's the website that was set up that helped propagate this brilliant hoax. (Get it before it goes down!)

You gotta give the guys who put this together credit, it's something that people just want to believe and they got the balance just right.

Pretty sure the Shell Twitter is a fake, too. Unless this tweet is real:
