I'm sure the oil companies are definitely not going to start taking more drastic measures if legislation starts getting mean to them.

"Exposing people to scientific information seems to work, but only briefly—and very briefly if they subsequently get exposed to misinformation in the form of opinion pieces. The researchers involved refer to holding accurate information as "fragile" and conclude that "the persistence of misperceptions reflects both the limits of human memory and the constraints imposed by the political information environment.""

The Kochs’ Dream of Smashing Climate Action May Be About to Come True
The Supreme Court will decide in June whether to gut the EPA’s ability to fight global heating, and you can thank Charles Koch for that.

The Koch brothers have been using their vast fortunes to fight government regulation since 1974. Now, their empire may be on the cusp of one of its biggest wins in a generation: trimming the powers of the U.S. presidency and gutting the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to fight climate change.

That is—if the Supreme Court agrees.

In June, the Supreme Court will deliver a potentially monumental decision in a case that could change the way the U.S. government works, and potentially hammer the EPA’s ability to lower greenhouse gas emissions. If that happens, you can thank a billionaire named Charles Koch, the remaining member of the fabulously rich and notoriously influential Koch brothers, owners of the second-largest private industrial conglomerate in America.

...
The Koch network spent decades building up a powerful set of think tanks and advocacy groups that have focused on rolling back the power of the federal government to regulate businesses. Now, that network may be about to score a crushing victory in a case called West Virginia vs. EPA.

In a nutshell, the decision could restrict the power of executive branch agencies—the EPA and possibly others—from making significant rules that go much beyond the specific powers laid out by Congress.

“The ruling is likely to curtail not just EPA’s ability to combat climate change but the government’s ability to protect the public from other threats, from financial fraud to public health,” said Dan Farber, an expert on environmental and constitutional law at UC Berkeley School of Law.
