    I hope she won’t get a sentence, but I am not a lawyer for expressing an informed legal opinion. The point I make is that we know in the meantime that the oil industry has been downplaying climate change and its related health issues for decades, although they new about it from their own research in the 1980s already. And no one faces any consequences. As a legal layman I can’t say whether that’s legal, but I don’t feel it’s right.
