The incoming chair of the House Oversight Committee, Republican Rep. James Comer, has openly bashed the investigation.
on the industry’s climate lies “a partisan show designed to demonize America’s energy producers and force radical Green New Deal policies on Americans.”
Comer pledged to “return the Oversight Committee to its primary mission of conducting oversight over the Biden administration.” Richard Wiles, president of the Center for Climate Integrity, said in a statement Tuesday that “refusing to share the committee’s findings with the Senate and others who can continue to investigate Big Oil’s climate deception would be an epic failure by House Democrats.”
“Over the last 15 months, the Oversight Committee has unearthed crucial new evidence that Big Oil companies continue to fuel the climate crisis and lie about it. But members have also made clear that they possess potentially thousands more documents that they have not had time to analyze,” said Wiles. “Obviously the incoming Republican House majority that will control the documents as of January 3 has no interest in continuing to investigate Big Oil.
“Committee members cannot allow their groundbreaking work to expose Big Oil’s role in fueling the climate crisis to end by giving control of thousands of unexamined documents to Big Oil’s defenders,” Wiles added.
