They looked at all scenarios and the expenses involved with each. They warned of making decisions on uncertain science. They did not state there would be global warming. So, if they planned for the two extremes, yes, global warming would be more profitable, as the expenses are lower. Business 101, not a grand conspiracy.
I'm not saying there is a grand conspiracy. I am just saying that the company has spent money and continues to spend money on the topic but no information is passed to shareholders about the risk or reason. That may be an issue, depending on how the law is interpreted and the degree of fact vs. speculation on the cause of global warming (and whether or not the globe is warming). It will be a difficult end game for the NYS AG. Just another topic I will watch with interest - like the VW saga.
