埃克森美孚公司已在美国加州东区地方法院提起诉讼，指控州政府的两项气候变化相关法律侵犯了其言论自由权。公司认为，这些法律迫使其接受加州关于石油和天然气公司应为气候变化承担主要责任的观点。其中一项法案要求大型企业披露温室气体排放量，另一项则要求与州政府有大量业务往来的企业报告气候变化对其业务的潜在影响。埃克森美孚表示，虽然理解气候变化的风险并支持相关应对措施，但第一修正案禁止政府强迫企业表达其不认同的观点。加州州长办公室则批评该公司反对透明度，并表示对法律的有效性充满信心。

⚖️ **言论自由的法律挑战**：埃克森美孚公司起诉加州，声称两项气候变化相关法律侵犯了其宪法第一修正案规定的言论自由权。公司认为，这些法律强制其公开认可并表达加州政府关于石油和天然气行业对气候变化负有主要责任的观点，这违背了其自身立场。

📊 **强制信息披露的争议**：诉讼涉及两项关键法律。一项要求大型企业每年披露其温室气体排放量。另一项则规定，与加州政府业务往来超过5亿美元的企业，需要每两年提交一份关于气候变化对其业务潜在影响的报告。埃克森美孚认为，这些披露要求迫使其“为全球变暖承担责任”。

🏛️ **法律依据与州政府回应**：埃克森美孚在起诉书中引用了第一修正案，强调政府无权强迫企业宣扬特定观点。然而，加州州长办公室发言人对此表示强烈反对，称其“极其令人震惊”，并表示这些法律已经过法院审理，充满信心。此外，埃克森美孚还声称其中一项州法律与联邦关于气候和财务风险披露的法规存在冲突。

🗓️ **法律生效与诉求**：埃克森美孚已请求法院阻止这两项法律于2026年生效。公司希望通过法律途径，避免被强制执行其认为不公平且侵犯其言论自由的披露和报告要求。

ExxonMobil has sued the state of California, alleging that two climate change laws infringe on the company’s right to free speech, according to multiple outlets.

The company filed the complaint in the U.S. Eastern District Court for California on Friday, claiming the new laws force it to agree with the state’s viewpoint on climate change, specifically that oil and gas corporations take particular blame, according to Bloomberg.

One of the bills requires large companies doing business with the state to disclose their greenhouse emissions each year.

The second law requires businesses doing more than $500 million with the state to write a report every other year on how climate change could affect its business.

Both laws require ExxonMobil to comply with California’s Greenhouse Gas Protocol and Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures, which the company reportedly claims forces it to take blame for global warming.

"ExxonMobil understands the very real risks associated with climate change and supports continued efforts to address those risks," the company said in its filing, according to Bloomberg. "California may believe that companies that meet the statutes’ revenue thresholds are uniquely responsible for climate change; but the First Amendment categorically bars it from forcing ExxonMobil to speak in service of that misguided viewpoint."

ExxonMobil was not immediately available for comment on Saturday.

"Truly shocking that one of the biggest polluters on the planet would be opposed to transparency," a spokesperson for California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office told FOX Business. "These laws have already been upheld in court and we continue to have confidence in them."

The company also claimed in the filing that one of the state laws conflicted with a federal law that regulates what companies must disclose about climate and financial risks, according to Bloomberg.

The company has asked the court to prevent the laws from going into effect in 2026.
