That may eventually be true, but that just underlines that there are economic reasons to diversify whether or not you care about the environment.

The bottom line is these companies are being valued by the market based on the assumption that they'll be able to sell the barrels of oil in their proven reserves. If those reserves are "unburnable", the current valuations are not accurate, because the market for their product will be much smaller. Either they are valued correctly, or we're going to take action that prevents the worst effects of climate change - but it can't be both.
