The resolutions also took aim at a broader range of companies, including midsize oil companies like Anadarko Petroleum, Devon Energy and Valero Energy that previously had flown below the radar of the activists.

Hevesi, the New York State comptroller, who as the sole fiduciary of the New York Common Retirement Fund, manages the second-largest public pension fund in the nation after the California fund.

Equity Mutual Funds Many oil companies have asked the Securities and Exchange Commission to rule that there is no need to present the resolutions to shareholders at their annual meetings. "We feel we have already been responsive to these queries in a number of forums, most recently in our energy trends report posted on our Web site early this month," a spokeswoman for Exxon Mobil, Lauren Kerr, said.

She said that the company, which is based in The Woodlands, a Houston suburb, had taken steps to address the climate change issue. One project in Wyoming, for example, uses a process that injects carbon dioxide into the ground to increase production at a century-old oil field while keeping the gas out of the atmosphere where it could contribute to global warming.

The resolutions address diverse concerns like waste from nuclear power plants, toxic emissions from chemical companies and recycling, but about half deal with climate change, which has emerged in the last three years as the most widespread concern, said Meg Voorhes, director of the research center's social responsibility service.
