WASHINGTON (AP) — ExxonMobil’s chief executive says his company “does not spread disinformation regarding climate change.” This, as he counters congressional allegations the industry concealed evidence about the dangers of global warming. Exxon CEO Darren Woods is among top officials at four major oil companies testifying Thursday as congressional Democrats investigate what they describe as a decades-long, industry-wide campaign to push disinformation about the role of fossil fuels in causing global warming.
