[Lance Olsen]

1st paragraph: "The shareholder climate appears to be changing at Exxon Mobil. The New York State Common Retirement Fund has put a proposal on the company’s proxy urging it to increase disclosures about the risks climate change poses to its business. After a similar proposal passed last week at Occidental Petroleum, the $350 billion oil giant will find it hard to resist the tide.”
