The House Oversight Committee has called out big oil, alleging that the fossil fuel companies have been deceptive about reducing emissions and greenwashing records.

While Shell had touted its "Sky scenario" to achieve net-zero emissions, internal emails emphasized it was "not a Shell business plan" and has "nothing to do" with the company's business plans.

"Please do not give the impression that Shell is willing to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to levels that do not make business sense," Shell said in an internal email.

"The SKY scenario is but one pathway that has the potential to deliver on Paris – it represents the scale of the challenge and levers policymakers might pull," the company added.
