AP, via MSNBC, reports that ‘Royal Dutch Shells U.S. arm said Monday it has joined a corporate/environmental coalition urging Congress to require limits on greenhouse gases tied to global warming, the third oil major to do so.’

Besides Shell, BP, ConocoPhillips, the industry and environmental partnership group includes GE, Alcoa, Duke Energy, P. G. and E. and the Natural Resources Defense Council.
