Neither you not OP understand the problem. In the end, you damn white knights are not taken seriously cuz your arguments are trump-level idiotic. And so US politics looks like just idiots shouting at each other.
Let's take your claim of a bob being responsible for 0.00000015% of emissions at face value. US population is approximately 300,000,000. That means bobs combined are responsible for 45% of the emissions. And shell only for 5%. To me it seems like forget the shell, if we manage to get bob to emit 2/3 of what they regularly do, it's equivalent to erasing 3 shells from the planet.
So, it looks to me, from your own assumptions you should stop focusing on corporations and go hunt the laymen. You see someone use a gas heater? Set their house on fire. You see a pick-up truck! Puncture the tires. Start this activism across the country, and you'll do more for the environment than if you combine into a mob and manage to overthrow the evil greedy corpo.
Checkmate, anon.
You seem to not realise that "shell" is a stand-in for a lot of companies, each of which emits 5%. It is way more efficient to get a few companies than every person on earth.

You’re just white knighting for the worst polluters in the world. I hope you didn’t break your neck falling off that high horse
You do realize he just pulled those numbers out of his ass, right? Doing math with them is pointless.
You sure?
