The oil companies have known that global warming was their fault since the 1970s and have either suppressed and lied that information or paid people to ignore and obscure that information.

They suppressed ecologically viable alternatives and even overthrew democratic governments to get their way.

When attempts are made just to get them to clean up their own mess they create stacks of shell companies to move the profits around and leave the people on the ground in the local area with the mess.

They are absolutely at fault and deserve zero mercy.
