A Massachusetts judge has ordered ExxonMobil to comply with the state Attorney General's request for data concerning carbon dioxide emissions dating back to 1976.
Judge Heidi E. Brieger issued the order in Suffolk Superior Court in Boston on Wednesday.
STATE HOUSE – The rest of the country may already think that Boston — the Hub of the Universe — runs on its own time. But Wednesday a legislative commission met to consider actually shifting the Bay State into a different time zone than the rest of the eastern seaboard.
The commission, which lawmakers agreed to form last year, is charged with studying how shifting permanently to eastern daylight time — the time zone that Massachusetts observes between March and November — would affect the state's local and regional economies, its education system, public health, transportation, energy consumption, commerce and trade.
