NYAG alleges Exxon misled investors on climate cost estimates
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman says Exxon Mobil misled investors by applying lower internal carbon cost figures to projects while publicly citing higher estimates. He seeks court orders for documents and witnesses as shareholders press for greater climate regulation disclosure. Exxon disputes the claim, citing its long standing proxy cost of carbon and accuses the probe of politics.
