Exxon Mobil Investigated for Possible Climate Change Lies by New York
Attorney General
By JUSTIN GILLIS and CLIFFORD KRAUSS NOV. 5, 2015
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/06/science/exxon-mobil-under-inv
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.

“We unequivocally reject the allegations that Exxon Mobil has suppressed
climate change research,” Mr. Cohen said, adding that the company had
funded mainstream climate science since the 1970s, had published dozens of
scientific papers on the topic and had disclosed climate risks to investors.
Mr. Schneiderman’s decision to scrutinize the fossil fuel companies may
well open a new legal front in the climate change battle.
The people with knowledge of the New York case also said on Thursday that,
in a separate inquiry, Peabody Energy, the nation’s largest coal producer,
had been under investigation by the attorney general for two years over
whether it properly disclosed financial risks related to climate change.
That investigation was not previously reported, and has not resulted in any
charges or other legal action against Peabody.
Vic Svec, a Peabody senior vice president, said in a statement, “Peabody
continues to work with the New York attorney general’s office regarding our
disclosures, which have evolved over the years.”
The Exxon inquiry might expand further to encompass other oil companies,
according to the people with knowledge of the case, though no additional
subpoenas have been issued to date.
The people spoke on the condition of anonymity, saying they were not
authorized to speak publicly about investigations that could produce civil
or criminal charges. The Martin Act, a New York state law, confers on the
attorney general broad powers to investigate financial fraud.
To date, lawsuits trying to hold fuel companies accountable for damage they
are causing to the climate have failed in the courts, but most of those have
been pursued by private plaintiffs.
Attorneys general for other states could join in Mr. Schneiderman’s efforts
, bringing far greater investigative and legal resources to bear on the
issue. Some experts see the potential for a legal assault on fossil fuel
companies similar to the lawsuits against tobacco companies in recent
decades, which cost those companies tens of billions of dollars in penalties.
“This could open up years of litigation and settlements in the same way
that tobacco litigation did, also spearheaded by attorneys general,” said
Brandon L. Garrett, a professor at the University of Virginia School of Law.
“In some ways, the theory is similar — that the public was misled about
something dangerous to health. Whether the same smoking guns will emerge, we
don’t know yet.”
In the 1950s and ’60s, tobacco companies financed internal research showing
tobacco to be harmful and addictive, but mounted a public campaign that
said otherwise and helped fund scientific research later shown to be dubious
. In 2006, the companies were found guilty of “a massive 50-year scheme to
defraud the public.”
The history at Exxon Mobil appears to differ, in that the company published
extensive research over decades that largely lined up with mainstream
climatology. Thus, any potential fraud prosecution might depend on exactly
how big a role company executives can be shown to have played in directing
campaigns of climate denial, usually by libertarian-leaning political groups.
For several years, advocacy groups with expertise in financial analysis have
been warning that fossil fuel companies might be overvalued in the stock
market, since the need to limit climate change might require that much of
their coal, oil and natural gas be left in the ground.

The people with knowledge of the case said the attorney general’s
investigation of Exxon Mobil began a year ago, focusing initially on what
the company had told investors about the risks that climate change might
pose to its business.
News reporting in the last eight months added impetus to the investigation,
they said. In February, several news organizations, including The New York
Times, reported that a Smithsonian researcher who had published papers
questioning established climate science, Wei-Hock Soon, had received
extensive funds from fossil fuel companies, including Exxon Mobil, without
disclosing them. That struck some experts as similar to the activities of
tobacco companies.
More recently, Inside Climate News and The Los Angeles Times have reported
that Exxon Mobil was well aware of the risks of climate change from its own
scientific research, and used that research in its long-term planning for
activities like drilling in the Arctic, even as it funded groups from the
1990s to the mid-2000s that denied serious climate risks.

Mr. Cohen, of Exxon, said on Thursday that the company had made common cause
with such groups largely because it agreed with them on a policy goal of
keeping the United States out of a global climate treaty called the Kyoto
Protocol.
“We stopped funding them in the middle part of the past decade because a
handful of them were making the uncertainty of the science their focal point
,” Mr. Cohen said. “Frankly, we made the call that we needed to back away
from supporting the groups that were undercutting the actual risk” of
climate change.
“We recognize the risk,” Mr. Cohen added. He noted that Exxon Mobil, after
an acquisition in 2009, had become the largest producer of natural gas in
the United States.
Because natural gas creates far less carbon dioxide than coal when burned
for electricity, the company expects to be a prime beneficiary of President
Obama’s plan to limit emissions. Exxon Mobil has also endorsed a tax on
emissions as a way to further reduce climate risks.
Whether Exxon Mobil began disclosing the business risks of climate change as
soon as it understood them is likely to be a major focus of the New York
case. The people with knowledge of the case said the attorney general’s
investigators were poring through the company’s disclosure filings made
since the 1970s, but were focusing in particular on recent statements to
investors.
Exxon Mobil has been disclosing such risks in recent years, but whether
those disclosures were sufficient has been a matter of public debate.
Last year, for example, the company warned investors of intensifying efforts
by governments to limit emissions. “These requirements could make our
products more expensive, lengthen project implementation times and reduce
demand for hydrocarbons, as well as shift hydrocarbon demand toward
relatively lower-carbon sources such as natural gas,” the company said at
the time.

But in another recent report, Exxon Mobil essentially ruled out the
possibility that governments would adopt climate policies stringent enough
to force it to leave its reserves in the ground, saying that rising
population and global energy demand would prevent that. “Meeting these
needs will require all economic energy sources, especially oil and natural
gas,” it said.
Wall Street analysts on Thursday were uncertain whether the case would
inflict long-term damage on the company, which has already suffered from a
plunge in commodity prices.
“This is not good news for Exxon Mobil or Exxon Mobil shareholders,” said
Fadel Gheit, a senior oil company analyst at Oppenheimer & Company. “It’s
a negative, though how much damage there will be to reputation or
performance is very hard to say.” |
