ExxonMobil faces EU parliament ban after no show at climate hearing

Oil giant may lose lobby access over failure to answer climate change denial questions

ExxonMobil faces losing its lobby privileges at the European parliament after the company failed to show up for the first hearing into climate change denial.

ExxonMobil would become only the second multinational - after Monsanto - to lose access to MEPs, parliamentary meetings and digital resources if it loses a high-level vote expected by the end of April.
