ExxonMobil may soon find itself testifying before the United States Congress after a senior employee claimed that the oil major has been actively working to undermine President Joe Biden’s climate and infrastructure proposals as well as used shadow organisations to bolster support for anti-climate change measures.
“Today’s tape only proves our know-ledge that the industry’s disinformation campaign is alive and well. In the coming months, I plan to ask the CEOs of Exxon, Chevron, and other fossil fuel companies to come testify before my Environment subcommittee. We can no longer allow Exxon, or any other companies, to prevent our collective action on the climate crisis,” Democratic congressman Ro Khanna announced via a June 30 statement.
