U.S. lawmaker to issue subpoenas to oil firms for documents on climate

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Representative Carolyn Maloney said on Thursday she intends to issue subpoenas to four major oil companies for documents on what their internal scientists have said about climate change and any funding they are doing to mislead the public on global warming.

Maloney made the remark at the end of a House hearing on climate disinformation in which lawmakers grilled the heads of Exxon Mobil, Shell Oil, BP America and Chevron.

“We need to get to the bottom of the oil industry’s disinformation campaign with these subpoenas,” Maloney said, adding she had draft subpoenas ready.

"Doing" funding? Makes no sense but hey I'm all for getting to the bottom of big oils deception.

While we're subpoenaing organizations let's subpoena Fox News for THEIR deception.
