WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren on Tuesday proposed a new “corporate perjury” law that she would pursue if elected to the White House, inspired by Exxon Mobil Corp’s past failure to share accurate climate change research with government regulators.
“No one would be liable for mistakes, for submitting research in good faith that turns out to be wrong, or for raising honest disagreements,” Warren wrote on the website Medium. “ExxonMobil has continuously and publicly researched and discussed the risks of climate change, carbon life-cycle analysis and emissions reductions,” Exxon’s Scott Silvestri said.
In her plan released Tuesday, Warren also said she would ban agencies and courts from considering industry-funded research that has not been peer reviewed. Silvestri said Exxon’s research had resulted in nearly 150 public papers, including more than 50 in peer-reviewed publications.
