But that's not what they're being prosecuted for, or even what they did wrong. Schneiderman is going after them for not telling their investors about a known risk to their business, namely the need to address climate change. This seems like a bit of a stretch to me, but I don't know the relevant law. On the other hand, funding climate denial groups to put off the inevitable reckoning so they could make as much money as possible selling fossil fuels was morally repugnant. We're decades farther down the global warming road than we had to be, so the cost in life and dollars to un-fuck the planet is much greater than it had to be. And it won't be Exxon picking up the tab.
