The New York attorney general has begun an investigation of Exxon Mobil to determine whether the company lied to the public about the risks of climate change or to investors about how such risks might hurt the oil business.
According to people with knowledge of the investigation, Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman issued a subpoena Wednesday evening to Exxon Mobil, demanding extensive financial records, emails and other documents.
The investigation focuses on whether statements the company made to investors about climate risks as recently as this year were consistent with the company’s own long-running scientific research.
The people said the inquiry would include a period of at least a decade during which Exxon Mobil funded outside groups that sought to undermine climate science, even as its in-house scientists were outlining the potential consequences — and uncertainties — to company executives.
Kenneth P. Cohen, vice president for public affairs at Exxon Mobil, said on Thursday that the company had received the subpoena and was still deciding how to respond.

The cultists have a solution, they are just having a hard time manufacturing the problem. So, in typical knee-jerk leftist fashion they revert to the familiar...finding a fat juicy target and launching a mutli-pronged attack on them. After all, the truth is immaterial to their unshakable belief, just being accused of wrongdoing is enough to start the shakedown, that the allegations came out of the thin air will not ever register on the minds of a somnolent public spoon-fed lies 24/7/365.And the hypocrisy in demanding that which does not exist from ones public sector enemy while a public entity refuses to share taxpayer paid materials to the proper public oversight authority will also be lost on the majority of the great unwashed...
NOAA refuses to share internal documents with Congress.
My advice - put Administrator Kathryn Sullivan's ass in jail! Hardball is all these cultists understand.And then there is this nakedly obvious little gem - On the heels of Exxon Mobil dropping funding support for the "Clinton Global Initiative" Foundation, Hillary Clinton calls for a Federal probe of Exxon Mobil for this same nebulous "climate change activities".Jail that bitch too! Tired of people allowing themselves to be pushed around by this trash! Is anybody ever going to punch these bastards in the face and not stop till they stop?!
I know, stupid ass question...
