Ironically, Shell is often mentioned in business studies and books as having a famous 'Futures group' that tries to predict what the future might be so they can base their strategy on it. Looks like they screwed up either the prediction or what to do about climate change.
Looks like they are now called the scenarios group:
Also ironically, one of the members of that group joined Shell in 1980 and is "a board member of the International Emissions Trading Association and was its Chairman from 2011-13. He is a board member of the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions in Washington, USA, and the Global Carbon Capture and Storage Institute in Melbourne, Australia."
