The British Royal Society (a top world scientific group) has condemned 
ExxonMobil for their disinformation campaign on global warming and other 
antiscience/antisocial behaviors (Science 313 [29 Sept]: 1871 (2006).  As 
the economic damages begin to emerge, I expect they will be prime targets 
for cost recovery for the same reasons the tobacco companies eventually had 
to pay up for their misdeeds.  Unfortunately, as with the tobacco issue, it 
will be harder to get at all the complicit politicians who are enabling 
this problem.  Global climate change and several other environmental issues 
have been getting better popular (outside the scientific community) 
coverage in Europe than in the US.
