I can see the evidence that some parts of the oil companies tried to hide the concept of global warming and oil's impact on it. However, considering the fact that global warming has been well known to the public for decades, and we still haven't taken any kind of drastic action to prevent it, can any damage really be attributable to the oil companies?
Should the oil companies have hid the data on global warming? No. Would the world be any different if they didn't try to hide the data? Also no.

They actively mislead many people, who would rather grasp for the comfortable alternative lies than face the reality. They actively spent and did spend huge amounts of money to influence politicians to tell their "there is no climate change" or " it is all natural and normal" or "this would have happened even without humans" naratives.
