Prosecutors Should Consider Homicide Charges Against Big Oil for Deaths Caused by Climate Change, New Paper Argues

https://www.citizen.org/news/prosecutors-should-charge-big-oil-for-deaths-caused-by-climate-change/

WASHINGTON, D.C. – When individuals are killed by severe weather events or disasters triggered by climate change, prosecutors have authority to charge fossil fuel companies with homicide, according to a new paper by David Arkush, director of Public Citizen’s Climate Program, and Donald Braman, associate professor of law at George Washington University, published today by the Harvard Environmental Law Review.

This is one of the most delusional, ANTI fact/evidence opinions!

Fossil fuels have SAVED millions of lives! We live in a world of manufactured realities where corrupt people/entities just..........MAKE THINGS UP that are the complete opposite of the truth and repeat them over and over and over.


So what do you suppose has led to a 98% reduction in deaths caused by climate?

Technology!


What do you think made most of this technology possible?

Fossil Fuels!


Products made from crude oil

https://www.ranken-energy.com/index.php/products-made-from-petroleum/

After crude oil is removed from the ground, it is sent to a refinery where different parts of the crude oil are separated into useable petroleum products. These petroleum products include gasoline, distillates such as diesel fuel and heating oil, jet fuel, petrochemical feedstocks, waxes, lubricating oils, and asphalt.

A U.S 42-gallon barrel of crude oil yields about 45 gallons of petroleum products in U.S. refineries because of refinery processing gain. This increase in volume is similar to what happens to popcorn when it is popped.


One 42-gallon barrel of oil creates 19.4 gallons of gasoline. The rest (over half) is used to make things like:

What's the solution to replace fossil fuels that are saving lives and causing a climate optimum for life?

WRECK the planet and kill life with FAKE green, weak, expensive, unreliable energy. People have lost their ability to think. Being conned with these political/government, crony capitalism, corrupt science and dishonest media schemes pushed by misinformed but sincere environmentalists!

This person writing the article at the top that wants to file homicide charges against the fossil fuel industry is jumping on a completely retarded HUGE movement  based on complete lies and junk science............pushed by political leaders, crony capitalists, misinformed environmentalists, corrupt scientists and dishonest media activists.

People don't think it's NOT possible that climate science could be hijacked by these people.

I've been proving that it has for 2 decades!

+++++++++

Let's review the negatives for you:

CO2 is a greenhouse gas that has increased from ~290 ppm to around ~420 ppm, mostly from the emissions of CO2 that result from burning fossil fuels.

The physics PROVE irrefutably that this is responsible for much of the warming of almost 2 Deg. F, which is greatest in the coldest places, during the coldest times of year(day).

1. This gives the atmosphere the ability to hold around 7% more moisture, so there's been an INCREASE in high end rain events. Not 7 times more. Not 70% more. 7% more moisture in the air.

2. The warmer oceans can also cause some hurricanes to intensify rapidly.

3. Sea levels are increasing at just over an inch..........PER DECADE. This rate has been increasing recently, some from the runoff of aquifers that are being drained.

4. Heat waves can be 2 deg. F hotter in many places. 

Regardless, the authentic science proves that almost all the weather  extremes are still being caused by NATURAL VARIATION.

All the same principles of meteorology still apply......at a beneficial warming of 2 degrees F higher. The highest latitudes warming the most has DECREASED the temperature contrast with latitude and DECREASED several forms of extreme weather (violent tornadoes for instance).

+++++++++++++++

Cliff Mass is an elite meteorologist and his statement below can't be repeated enough because the media and government keep repeating the opposite to mislead people:

https://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2016/03/the-golden-rule-of-climate-extremes.html

The GoldenRule

 Considering the substantial confusion in the media about this critical issue, let me provide the GOLDENRULE OF CLIMATE EXTREMES. Here it is:

The more extreme a climate or weather record is, the greater the contribution of natural variability.

Or to put it a different way, the larger or more unusual an extreme, the higher proportion of the extreme is due to natural variability.           

++++++++++++++

The benefits to human life, greatly outweigh the negatives. To MOST of the non human life, the benefits are 500 times greater than the negatives. Most life would still prefer it to be a bit warmer than this and for CO2 levels on this greening planet to be double the current level, closer to the optimal CO2 level for life.

This is going on in many places. Junk science and blatant corruption partnering together for self enrichment!!!!

Office of Governor Gavin Newsom 

 People of the State of California v. Big Oil

Published:

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: Oil executives deceived the public for decades about how fossil fuels are hurting our health and destroying our planet, protecting their own profits while sticking taxpayers with the bill for the damages. California is suing these big polluters to hold them accountable for their decades of deception, cover-up, and billions of dollars in harm done to our state.

NEW YORK – Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta announced today that California is suing Big Oil for more than 50 years of deception, cover-up, and damage that have cost California taxpayers billions of dollars in health and environmental impacts. The text of the lawsuit is here.

Nearly two dozen lawsuits filed by cities and states aim to put fossil fuel companies on trial for deceiving the public about climate change.

1. Right..........Big Oil didn't warn crop farmers to purchase larger bins to store their much larger crops caused by climate change,  the increase in CO2 and fossil fuel make synthetic fertilizers That are feeding the planet.


2. Big oil didn't warn people that there would be more humans around because of the lives it saved with cold killing 10 times more people on  the planet than than heat.

3. However, fossil fuels provide life saving warmth in the Winter AND life saving cooling in the Summer during NATURAL VARIATION caused extremes in the weather.

4. Big oil didn't warn people to anticipate the explosion in technology it caused.

5. Big oil didn't warn us that life on the planet would experience a  massive climate optimum because of their CO2 emissions.

Chicago climate lawsuit against Big Oil moved to federal court -- for now                   BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Exxon Mobil and Shell argued city’s case belongs in U.S. District Court. A legal expert predicts it will move back to Cook County Circuit Court.

https://chicago.suntimes.com/environment/2024/04/11/bp-chevron-conocophillips-exxonmobil-shell-chicago-climate-lawsuit-federal-court

A City Hall lawsuit blaming five oil industry giants for climate change damage and then covering it up has been moved from state to federal court at the request of the companies.

In late March, the case filed the previous month was assigned to Judge Franklin Valderrama in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.

A legal expert, however, believes the case will land back in Cook County Circuit Court where it was initially filed. The reason: Chicago’s lawsuit against five of the world’s largest oil and gas companies follows a pattern of similar complaints filed by other U.S. cities. In each of those cases, the companies argue that the case must be heard in federal rather than state courts but, on appeal, they have all been moved back to the local venues.

“This is dead on arrival in federal court,” said Pat Parenteau, professor of law emeritus at Vermont Law and Graduate School who has tracked the climate lawsuits against Big Oil.

The city is in for a long, hard-fought battle with the deep-pocketed companies, Parenteau added.

It’s unclear whether any of these cases will be successful, especially facing such large, powerful global corporations, but lawyers representing cities have pointed to the success states had suing tobacco companies in the 1990s over claims that the companies lied about the health threats from smoking cigarettes.

BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Exxon Mobil and Shell are all named the in lawsuit filed by Mayor Brandon Johnson’s administration that accuses the companies of trying to discredit science and mislead the public on the harm that burning fossil fuels has had on the planet.

+++++++++++++++++++++

Comparing the impact of the  beneficial gas, CO2 to the great harm of tobacco/smoking cigarettes is like comparing your family doctor to a drug dealer (-:   

Or adding exercise to improve your health, compared to spending more time consuming alcohol at the local club doing 12 ounce curls. 

Big Oil should get put in the Hall of Fame for all the contributions that its made to mankind, even if they were in the interest of making massive profits. It unintentionally blessed life on the planet with beneficial CO2 and slight warming. ..........but even accidents that result  in such wonderful outcomes should be recognized.

++++++++++++

One of the biggest reasons they're doing this is to exploit the fake climate crisis, CO2 big pay day. In this case, Big Oil has a bad reputation with most of us(including me), so they are the perfect villain to pin the fake climate crisis on and because Big Oil is loaded with billions, target them to get that money for their diabolical scheme pay off/self enrichment!  These people are rotten to the core! Even Big Oil deserves to be treated with fair justice and facts/honest science.

Just another example of how our justice system and government are stinking rotten corrupt!!!!!!

After a long slog, climate change lawsuits will finally put Big Oil on trial                                   

32 lawsuits now target fossil fuel companies over climate damage.

                                 By: - April 4, 2024 

After years of legal appeals and delays, some oil companies are set to stand trial in lawsuits brought by state and local governments over the damages caused by climate change.

Meanwhile, dozens more governments large and small have brought new claims against the fossil fuel industry as those initial cases, filed up to a half-dozen years ago, inch closer to the courtroom.

“It’s all building toward more cases in more places using more legal theories to hold these companies accountable,” said Richard Wiles, president of the Center for Climate Integrity, a nonprofit that offers legal and communication support to communities suing oil companies.

Wiles’ group has tracked 32 cases filed by state attorneys general, cities, counties and tribal nations against companies including Exxon Mobil, BP and Shell. The lawsuits cite extensive news reporting — including investigations by the Los Angeles Times and Inside Climate News — showing oil companies’ own research projected the dangers of climate change decades ago, even as the industry tried to undermine scientific consensus about the crisis.

Those practices, the claims argue, violate a variety of laws including consumer protection, public nuisance, failure to warn, fraud and racketeering. Some of the lawsuits seek to force oil companies to help pay for the damages caused by climate change. Others aim to impose penalties for the use of deceptive business practices. Some want to compel the companies to fund a corrective education campaign about the climate threats they once downplayed.

Given the massive price tag of climate disasters and governments’ adaptation costs, experts say the lawsuits could put the oil industry on the hook for many billions of dollars.

+++++++++++++

Our blatantly corrupt government/justice system can make up whatever they want and collude with each other and the media to target and punish whoever they want and bleed them dry for their own self enrichment.

Guess WHO ELSE pays the price here?

That's right, consumers. YOU and me.  Not just monetarily from higher energy prices but with a rapid destruction of a once fair/balanced, moral,  justice system and government.  

Destroying a wonderful energy delivery system to replace it with a very bad one. Rolling back the industrial Revolution.

Maybe worst of all.........having our intelligence stolen. Dumbing people down and filling their heads with junk science and complete fake climate crisis nonsense, when they should be providing enlightenment and authentic knowledge to help them understand science.
 

Instead they use people for their self enriching objectives. Tell us that they are saving the planet........while wrecking the planet in reality.


These people that work for us should be educating us and our children. Not using us with their creative diabolical schemes designed to enrich themselves and accomplish self serving political agenda.

This attempt to pilfer, what could amount to 10s of billions of dollars from Big Oil using pathetic, junk science reasoning  but creative scheming will go down  near the top in the hall of SHAME.

No, Big Oil is not paying me a penny to state this, which is a tactic of this side…..accuse people with the truth of having a nefarious motive or call them names, like deniers.

My position is entirely rooted in sincerely and objectively practicing the scientific method.

Speaking out against injustice……even when injustice happens to people and entities that I don’t like.

Educating and enlightening people with authentic knowledge and solid ethical principles.

Sharing these things with as many people as possible along with the appreciation of the wonderful world that we live in….the best age in human history, thanks to the  technology at our fingertips.

Exposing the many  entities using that technology to use and hurt other people….especially those least fortunate in society.

Entities that disguise themselves as wolves in sheeps clothing With brilliant schemes, convincing propaganda, DISinformation, fake news and false narratives That brainwash us to follow them as they tell us what we want to believe in order to control and use us.
