"...allegedly deceiving investors about Exxon’s scientific research on climate-change impact."
I wonder how he was deceiving them. Was he covering up that Exxon researchers had uncovered evidence of real climate change? (As you brought up in a post recently yourself, RL.) Or was he covering up the evidence of the climate change itself? The distinction is a subtle one, but it is important.
After all, threatening the global climate and world civilization for a little short-term profit is one thing. But lying to the stockholders is unforgivable.
