NY seeks Exxon Mobil assessment on warming limits
New York comptroller Thomas Di Napoli and other investors urge the SEC to reject Exxon's bid to omit a shareholder proposal on how the company would be affected by a 2 degree warming limit. The fund holds about 1 billion in Exxon stock and cites UN projections for net zero emissions by 2100. Exxon says the proposal is vague and already substantially addressed, noting it has included carbon costs in planning since 2007. Shell and BP have similar disclosures.
