Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

SEC Ruling Deals Another Blow to ExxonMobil

HeadlineMar 25, 2016

This comes as Exxon was dealt another blow Tuesday by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which rejected Exxon’s attempts to block shareholders from demanding the oil giant disclose how its business would be impacted by the 2-degree target limit on global warming. Following the historic U.N. climate accord in December, in which 195 nations endorsed efforts to limit global warming to no more than a 2-degree Celsius rise above pre-industrial levels, a number of Exxon’s shareholders have advanced a proposal that would force the oil giant to tell investors how its profits will be impacted by the global target.
