If they don't successfully win this case for a total sum equal or greater to the amount of money these companies raked in during their decades-long misinformation campaigns, Capitalism As It Is Practiced will declare it "worth it". Oil companies will only meaningfully pivot if the people calling the shots at the companies recalculate risk/reward.

Those that profited from creating a global problem need to put those profits directly towards meaningful remediation.
