“Their initial response was, of course, more lies and more denials and now they’re in court lying to the court trying to kick their case to federal court instead of keeping it in state court,” Tong said.
Tong took legal action against ExxonMobil six months ago under the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act, alleging an ongoing, systemic campaign of lies and deception to hide from the public what he says the company has known for decades about the connection between burning fossil fuels and climate change.
In response, ExxonMobil called the claims baseless and without merit. Legal proceedings like this waste millions of dollars of taxpayer money and do nothing to advance meaningful actions that reduce the risks of climate change,” the company said in a statement.
