Some reasons why fraud by Fossil Fuel industry is worse than Tobacco fraud.

 

1. Man Made climate change is the most important and direct threat to every living person on the planet increasing each day. Delay and deceit schemes counter the scientific urgency mandating collective action.

2. Children and future generations were mostly not affected by smoking and most had a choice to smoke or not. Prevention being worth a pound of cure it was a battle between the Marlboro Man, Fake doctors and the growing evidence . Today and for the future more and more simply do not have a choice to move and the poor pay the first costs that can't move from the harms of fossil fuel burning.

3. With most people owning shares through retirement funds etc. it would be critical for the fossil fuel industry to clearly and as soon as known to inform investors that their products will face increasing resistance from the consuming world to cut back on use which strands most of their reserves. This coincides with the clear scientific warnings to leave about 4/5 of known reserves in the ground. So to promise years of dividends and not clearly articulate the knowns of science is simple fraud.

4. It is well known that the industry has funded denial. Not only funded denial but lobbied to get more of our air, land, and water as the socialized costs continue to be paid by the public and hidden from the bottom lines of their companies. With the World Health Organization now claiming from 4.5 to over 6 million premature deaths from outdoor air pollution it is a precursor to climate change and implies not just ignoring real costs that the poor pay but shows by denying man made climate change a willful disregard for life on a massive scale.

So while the same tactics of delay and deceit like Hillary using All Of The Above to increase world wide extraction and burning are used for iffy and ever distant restraint, we saw industry scientists waving the wrong flag which killed many.
