BP and Shell are planning for catastrophic 5°C global warming, despite publicly committing to 2°C

Oil giants Shell and BP are planning for global temperatures to rise as much as 5°C by the middle of the century. The level is more than double the upper limit committed to by most countries in the world under the Paris Climate Agreement, which both companies publicly support.
