Recently leaked documents showed that ExxonMobil did internal studies in the 1970s about climate change. It shows they were aware of its existence and lied about it for decades. What, if anything, should be done to punish ExxonMobil and other companies? Should this be investigated more?

Here's a link to the published paper discussing the documents.

It proves that for decades, ExxonMobil (and likely others) has lied and misdirected governments, shareholders, and the public about climate change, its trajectory, and its effects.

Should governments and other bodies (the US, EU, UK, UN, etc) do investigations into this matter and/or punish these companies for knowingly lying to and misleading various world governments and organizations, shareholders, and the public?

Honestly, I'm a bit surprised it's not being discussed more.
