Well. If they had released their research and not thrown container loads of money at denialist lobby groups and think tanks, I think it could have been different. Perhaps all those US Republican politicians who used to accept climate change before George HW Bush was elected would still be convinced. Exxon brag about the billions in Arctic drilling rights they secure from Russia after they bloody melted it enough. Maybe they should have released research with a plan to pivot to mostly not oil. BP and Exxon annoy me particularly. They paint themselves so damn eco-friendly in ads, but chuck blank cheques at those working against eco-sustainability and carbon reduction. Hopefully the next generation find a way to prosecute when they get into positions of influence and power.
