Exxon Mobil lost a round in the Supreme Court this week in its ongoing battle with an activist official in Massachusetts who claims the company has been concealing evidence about its role in the alleged phenomenon of global warming.
The Supreme Court turned back Exxon Mobil’s request to review the actions of Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey. The company claims she has been violating its constitutional rights by leading what amounts to a fishing expedition. Exxon says Healey hopes to discover evidence to use in the state’s investigation that hypothesizes the company covered up information for decades about the role the fossil fuels it sells plays in climate change.
