Absolutely on the nose and a fair assessment.<p>Fossil fuel executives are criminals, their crimes are global in scope, affecting the entirety of the biosphere.<p>Unfortunately our legal systems are woefully unprepared for crimes of this magnitude, scale and impact. These people should be tried like the worst war criminals, and even that would be mild. They have done irreversible damage and quite possibly doomed the future of human civilization.
Big Oil didn't "lie" about climate change any more than the people who think sentient dinosaurs live in Hollow Earth "lied" about the way to get there.<p>The global warming theories they were presented as a result of fossil fuel burning fall into to "not even wrong" category of pseudoscience. CO2 doesn't cover the Earth, causing warming like a blanket. That was the theory they were given. It's not even wrong. It means nothing. And they debated it, decided it was meaningless, and moved on.<p>The criminals in this are the people who continue to push global totalitarian rule to fix a fake crisis. There is no climate emergency. What we're seeing now is the 100-year global water cycle oscillation. That's it. The only difference is that this time we're able to observe the environment on a global scale.
