Support the Attorney General vs. ExxonMobile Lies
We support the investigation by NY attorney general Eric Schneiderman into ExxonMobile's lies about global warming, and urge the company to release the documents under subpoena.
Why is this important?
Last Wednesday, ExxonMobile received a subpoena demanding financial records, emails and other internal documents. The New York Times reports that the attorney general launched the investigation alleging that as far back as 1977, the corporation was conducting research on the catastrophic effects of carbon emissions on global temperatures yet chose to repeatedly lie to investors. Through a network of outside organizations, ExxonMobile has worked for decades to create uncertainty about climate change, while knowing full well the consequences we would all have to face.
This is a pivotal moment in our struggle- a chance to end the lies once and for all, and start working together for a sustainable future.
