However, consumer driven change takes longer to have an effect. What I really want is a government that believes in climate science and is willing to regulate big oil companies. And, yes, I get that in the absence of a decent government, the public needs to step in. I just don't think these fines (if the law finds in favor of the plaintiffs) will impact the CEOs' pocketbooks. In other words, this is a frustrating position to find ourselves in, and there are few if any good solutions.
