To be actually fair, these companies lied to the rest of us about the environmental damage they were doing, and have caused an untold number of deaths via the effects of climate change, with that number poised to shoot up exponentially.

The executives of those companies endangered our global ecosystem. It may even be the case that they have set us on a path to extinction.

They should all be in jail for life. Their companies should have been seized by the government and converted with all speed to renewable energy.

It’s nothing short of suicidal insanity that that didn’t happen the moment we discovered what they knew and hid from the world.
