Public relations firms declined to attend a Wednesday hearing set by U.S. Democrats about whether they helped the fossil fuel industry spread disinformation about climate change, according to the House of Representatives panel holding the event.
The House Natural Resource Committee's oversight panel, led by U.S. Representative Katie Porter of California, had invited leading advertising and public relations firms to share documents and information related to their work for oil, gas and coal companies and to testify at the hearing.
The hearing is the latest in a series of congressional hearings into whether the oil industry hindered government action on global warming. At the hearing, the committee will share findings of its investigation into public relations and advertising firms' work for fossil fuel companies based on its review of documents, such as their submissions for industry awards.
