I would hope you are correct but, I do not know for certain. If a
programmer is directed to write code that violates the law and the code
is discovered is the programmer culpable? I suspect the courts would
say yes but again, I do not know for certain.

I am pretty sure that being a witness to a crime is not. in itself, a
crime. Is there any law that makes it a criminal offense to not report
a crime?

There is a fiduciary responsibility associated with various
professionals. If your company is doing stuff that you think is
illegal, you first have an obligation to bring this to the attention
of management. If management does not take action that you feel is
appropriate, then your
next responsibility is to figure out if there is a government agency
you

need to be a whistleblower to report the activity.
If you do not report it, and the government later finds out,
investigates, there is the presumption that you should have known
about it, should have
reported it.

Actions to cause global warming are not yet considered to be illegal.
However. this sort of thing can vary across international boundaries.
Example ... people in Candada get acid rain thanks to actions of
industries in the USA. Law suits abound.
