@rahmstorf I wonder if it might also be possible for entities like the Securities and Exchange Commission and its non-US counterparts to file lawsuits on the grounds that these propaganda campaigns artificially inflate the value of fossil fuel companies. Any company that creates fake news that boosts stock prices should be subject to intensive investigation and, if found guilty, penalized heavily.
