Climate Hawks Vote Applauds SEC Investigation of Exxon’s Climate Deceit

In response to the news that the Securities and Exchange Commission that it will investigate Exxon Mobil on how it factors climate risk in pricing its projects, RL Miller, cofounder of Climate Hawks Vote, states: “I’m really happy that the SEC has finally responded to last November’s demand by Rep. Ted Lieu (CA-33), who has been relentless in calling for federal action on Exxon Mobil’s pattern of deception, deceit, and flat out lies regarding what Exxon knew about climate change. Congrats to Ted, a climate hawk of unimpeachable integrity.”

Climate Hawks Vote endorsed Lieu in 2014 and again in 2016, praising Lieu’s focus on Exxon in its first (and so far, only) endorsement of an incumbent member of the House of Representatives. Climate Hawks Vote is one of the leading voices calling for an investigation of Exxon.
