Whoopsies. From The Guardian:
Royal Dutch Shell has been accused of pursuing a strategy that would lead to potentially catastrophic climate change after an internal document acknowledged a global temperature rise of 4C, twice the level considered safe for the planet.
A paper used for guiding future business planning at the Anglo-Dutch multinational assumes that carbon dioxide emissions will fail to limit temperature increases to 2C, the internationally agreed threshold to prevent widespread flooding, famine and desertification.
Instead, the New Lens Scenarios document refers to a forecast by the independent International Energy Agency (IEA) that points to a temperature rise of up to 4C in the short term, rising later to 6C.
The Shell document says: “Both our (oceans and mountains) scenarios and the IEA New Policies scenario (and our base case energy demand and outlook) do not limit emissions to be consistent with the back-calculated 450 parts per million (Co2 in the atmosphere) 2 degrees C.”
It adds: “We also do not see governments taking steps now that are consistent with 2 degrees C scenario.”
you know what shows the truly callus agenda of big oil it's bad enough they careless than gnat crap about us but these bastards are putting their own families in the jackpot most of the the old ones will be dead and stinking when we realize the detriment of denying science and reality but what about their grand kids and their loved ones they show no regard to their futures or suffering they may endure because their greed wouldn't allow then to protect those with the same bloodline, how long will their money keep the family safe if their s such a thing i guess they can live in controlled environments or on Mars or the moon, but how long before they repeat the future history they are now ignoring???
wonder if the family knows the clock is ticking and are they prepared for off world living??
