The Death Note could control what the victim did before their death. So Global Warming Kira could definitely have those random company heads die next to a piece of paper with "the deaths will continue until CO2 declines" written on it.

Then you could write, "Before their death, the CEO of Gas Inc. will invent nuclear fusion, spread it to every market, and then live a long and happy life."

  There's a limit of a few days, if I remember correctly, on how long you can control people for before they die.

  There are rules that would prevent that (they can only do things within their means, 1 month time limit). What could work is an investment in such technologies, public announcements and then disappearing, maybe falling off a yacht or such a thing.

  In the show this was limited to things that were both possible and that the target might realistically be able to do.

    And really, it's what a death demon can do with some good old fashioned possession. So he can jump into a nearby truck driver and into the victim and have them meet in the middle of the road, but he doesn't necessarily know what the hell a prime number is.

To clarify the Death Note rules discussion, this would be possible, but would need to be adjusted such that it's something the company heads would have reasonable done. So something more akin to "Ceo Ceoson, overcome by immense guilt over environmental destruction, writes down 'Companies 1-16 are responsibl for the dying environment and we don't deserve to live.' having a heart attack." It needs to double up as a stand-alone action as well as a threat.
