"Record droughts, raging forest fires, crop failures, and disappearing
glaciers: It has become undeniable that the planet is in the early
stages of a climate crisis with dire implications. As terrifying as it
is, this unfolding disaster has not come as a surprise to everyone —
especially not the people who have been profiting off fomenting the
climate emergency.

It has come to light in recent years that major fossil fuel companies
knew well in advance that their activities were gravely distorting the
climate, even as they waged a relentless campaign to confuse public
opinion and prevent regulatory action. A flood of cases are now making
their way through the courts against Exxon Mobil and other companies
accused of concealing the truth of a calamity now slowly enveloping the
world."
