The Hunters Become the Hunted in Exxon's Climate Change Probe
For some months, ExxonMobil Inc. has been under investigation about allegations that it lied to investors about the risks of Climate Change. Now it’s the turn of the investigators to be investigated.
Lamar Smith (R.-Tx), who heads the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology, has demanded that New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman turn over all communication since 2012 between his office and climate change campaigners whose research led to him opening his probe.
In a letter published by the New York Times, Smith and 12 of the other 22 Republican members committee accused Schneiderman and the attorneys general supporting him of “a coordinated attempt to deprive companies, non-profit organisations, and scientists of their First Amendment rights and ability to fund and conduct scientific research free from intimidation and threats of prosecution.”
“The irony of this letter is breathtaking,” the NYT cited Schneiderman’s spokesman Eric Soufer as saying. He points to the fact that Smith is currently investigating the activities of federal climate scientists whose research last year undermined claims by Climate Change skeptics that global warming was going through a ‘hiatus’. Smith has demanded their private correspondence as part of the inquiry.
The Congressmen accused Schneiderman of secretly collaborating with environmental pressure groups since a two-day workshop in 2012.
