Top executives of major Western oil companies are to testify before the US Congress amid accusations that they misled the public about climate change.
Democrat lawmakers say the hearings will focus on the industry’s decades-long denial of its products’ leading role in fuelling climate change.
The companies said they hoped to use the hearings to highlight recent efforts to address climate change.
This comes just days before the start of the UN’s COP26 climate conference.
