Exxon did not cause climate change, consumers consuming the oil they extracted did. And as far as I know we were not forced to consume that oil, were we? Did they try to mislead people about the consequences so that they are less likely to reduce their oil consumption, sure. But it is ridiculousness to suggest that if only Exxon had not tried to mislead us, then we would have been aware of the consequences, stopped using oil, and climate change would have been averted.
