As oil companies make emissions pledges, Congress calls hearing on climate change disinformation

On Tuesday, ExxonMobil announced its “ambition to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions for operated assets by 2050,” the latest pledge by an oil company whose primary product is the single biggest driver of climate change.

ExxonMobil is not the only oil company to embrace the idea of cutting greenhouse gas emissions. In October, Chevronabout its adoption of “a 2050 net zero aspiration” for a portion of its business. Democrats in Congress, however, remain highly skeptical of those words, and on Thursday the House Committee on Oversight and Reformto members of the boards of directors at the oil companies asking them to testify before Congress about their public commitments to slash emissions.
