> Are you sure every oil company did this? Fines? Come on. Were there justice we'd have people shot dead in the square then buried unmourned and in unmarked graves for what they did to us as a society and as a race. Continuing to assess fines as the magnitude of their betrayal of society and of the human race would be getting off light. Because here's the thing: if they weren't sure in the seventies they were damned well sure by the eighties and they're damned well sure now and they still fight to put profits over the future of the human race. They are the counterpoint to the ghastly unfettered capitalism that some people still think is a good idea and they're going to end billions of humans because of it. "Not all oil companies"? Get out with that. There is no exclusion from this betrayal of the human race and there is no oil company in existence today not blighting us by their continued operation. If some hypothetical oil company doesn't want to be strung up? I dunno. How about 100% renewable energy by 2035--which is probably still too late, because we are screaming over the cliff, but hey!--and externally-validated commitments to that, with failure to meet those commitments resulting in revocation of their corporate charter, forcible seizure of all assets, and jail sentences long enough to see the sea rise they caused for their executive tier? That seems equitable to me. Sigh. A violated society should act, but we are passive.
