"In latest legal briefs over Exxon's challenge to her investigation, Maura Healey says company continues to deny climate impacts on its business."

"In the latest volley of her legal skirmish with ExxonMobil, Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey said the company continues to mislead the public about the risks of climate change.

'[I]t appears that Exxon may have failed to disclose fully its knowledge of the threats posed by climate change to its businesses and that Exxon continues to make apparently misleading and deceptive statements to investors and consumers,' Healey said in one of two motions filed with a federal court in Texas.

For more than three decades, the company understood climate-driven risk to its businesses, 'yet, Exxon continues to maintain that the future is bright for its investors,' attorneys for Healey argued in court briefs filed Monday."
