The same Exxon that's part of the American Petroleum Institute; an entity that in the 80s grouped several scientists internally into a task force to investigate the likely evolution of climate change. Their report includes this fun little tidbit:
5°C rise (2067): globally catastrophic effects
Here for the full report (PDF, 4.5MB). After reading that, these ghouls of course continued pumping up the oil and even ramped up misinformation campaigns. Of course the report itself was wrong - 5C is straight up unsurvivable, not just "globally catastrophic". Recent models (currently being integrated into the next IPCC report) also indeed suggest 4-5C, but more likely by the end of the century rather than 2067. Said models ignore many non quantifiable / non predictable feedback effects, though, mind you.
