Actually we CAN go scott free. As per the links, they not only knew about climate change but actively tried to subvert activities related to spreading its awareness. If the general public had the same awareness and sense-of-impending-doom that we have now, do you think these companies wouldve been able to withstand that kind of growing public opposition from all walks of society? Pretty sure they would be forced to course correct.

Chevron damn near could. I bear the blame for climate change along with Chevron just like I own stocks along with Jeff Bezos.
