What the Petrochemical Industry Perpetrated...

I believe that you will find that there are investigations and lawsuits being pursued against multiple companies in the oil and gas businesses of the world. They, petrochemical: extracting, refining, distributing and sales, etc., have known, for over half a century (based on information gathered by scientists the oil and gas industry employed; among many other scientists) what would happen if, when, enormous amounts of fossil fuels continued to be extracted, processed and burned.  

Forensic accountants could document how much taxpayers were bilked to underwrite the destruction that the American Petroleum Institute, and their ilk round the world, caused; continue to cause.  

I believe that the only way to rectify the problem is for eminent domain to be employed by governments around the world, after the case against the petrochemical industries are made in courts around the world.
