Meanwhile.... Judge orders Exxon to hand over documents related to climate change




A judge said on Wednesday that Exxon Mobil must turn over documents to a New York prosecutor probing whether the company lied to the public and investors about the threat of climate change.

Among the documents the company must produce: Emails company executives allegedly sent using pseudonyms.

Earlier this month, Attorney General Schneiderman accused former CEO Rex Tillerson -- now U.S. secretary of state -- of discussing environmental issues under the email name "Wayne Tracker."

According to Schneiderman, "Wayne Tracker" sent emails from at least 2008 through 2015 to discuss "important matters," including climate change. Wayne is Tillerson's middle name.

Since the subpoena for those documents was originally issued 16 months ago, I'm not sure why Exxon isn't being required to produce "all" responsive documents, but the judge probably has his reasons. Exxon's whiny complaint about having provided a comprehensive response should be ignored, but if they repeat it, the judge should toss an executive or five into the clink for a weekend on a brass balls citation.
