You can't make facts true by reversing them. But you can make your statements true by reversing them. There is no fraud for them to be the victims of. There are different opinions (within the companies in question as well as generally). Also they wouldn't be victims of fraud even if your scenario. They wouldn't be defrauded. Action being delayed (which can be positive even in any but the most extreme global warming alarmist scenario, because the action itself is expensive, and if taken in a rush might be the wrong action to take), just means the externality continued. A victim of fraud is someone who is defrauded, someone who believes the fraud, and directly loses because they believe it. If Bob defrauds Mary, and then Mary can't pay her substantial debt to Jane, Jane wasn't defrauded. Similarly if Bob had shot Mary, and Mary died and didn't make the payments, Jane wasn't murdered. She wasn't murdered even if she commits suicide because of the situation.
