"WASHINGTON - Board members of four major oil companies declined to appear at a House oversight panel hearing scheduled for Feb. 8 to answer questions about their companies’ climate change plans, the committee said on Thursday.
The congressional committee last month invited board members from Exxon, Shell, Chevron and BP to testify about the industry’s role in climate change and spreading “disinformation” about that role and their proposed solutions.
The hearing aimed to turn up the heat on those companies after lawmakers grilled CEOs last year and to gather information about whether these companies’ proposed climate change plans will achieve anything."
