Yes, however the confounding factor is that the large oil companies have spent a lot of money convincing people that these actions are harmless, despite internal data saying otherwise. In a world where these companies kept their mouth shut about climate research, then I don't see how they'd be at fault.

Over a period of how many years? If it's been, say 2-5 years, is that enough time for us to say "they've known and done nothing about it" effectively? Or are we just whining because we like to bitch?
