Key board members at four oil companies were called to testify in February about the industry’s role in climate change and spreading “disinformation”, turning up the heat on big oil after legislators grilled their CEOs last year.The US congressional hearing of officials from Exxon, Shell, Chevron and BP, scheduled for February 8, is the next phase of the House oversight committee’s ongoing investigation into the role of fossil fuel companies in blocking action on climate change and misrepresenting the industry’s efforts to address it.The panel had concluded the first of these hearings last October, which featured the CEOs of oil majors, by issuing subpoenas for documents on what company scientists have said about climate change and any funds spent to mislead the public on global warming.
