Exxon and Climate Change

The oil giant Exxon is suing claiming their first amendment rights are being violated. The company was served a subpoena to release their documents on climate change to the public, as there was suspicion that they have been misleading the public. The issue stems from investors concern that the company isn't being honest about their impact on climate change. 

Exxon is refusing the subpoena and in tern suing under the first amendment, as they believe their right to freedom of speech is being violated. Exxon has also come out on record saying they believe this to be a political move and will fight this to the bitter end.
