The head of a U.S. House panel on Tuesday subpoenaed four major oil companies and two lobbying groups for documents related to their actions on global warming as part of a year-long probe into potential climate deception by the energy industry.
Maloney had announced last week at the end of a hearing on Big Oil and climate disinformation that she would subpoena the companies and organizations, saying much of what the committee had received were publicly available documents.
saying the company's support of a carbon tax was a ruse, since the company believed the idea would never become law. In response to the subpoena, Exxon spokesperson Casey Norton said the company is cooperating and has now provided almost 130,000 pages of documents "including internal emails".
