The court’s ruling on decades clears a path for the Massachusetts attorney general to obtain records from the company as part of an investigation into whether it concealed its knowledge of the role of fossil fuels in climate change for 7 January. The court refused to hear an appeal by Exxon against a ruling from the top court in Massachusetts. Exxon is also facing a similar case brought by New York’s attorney general, which accuses the company of systematic deceit of investors about the impact of climate change regulations on its business.
