Die großen Firmen der Fossilindustrie haben 2023 Selbstverpflichtungen zur Dekarbonisierung zurückgenommen. Im wärmsten Jahr der aufgezeichneten Geschichte haben sie an der Perfektionierung ihrer fossilen Geschäftsmodelle und an an einer weiteren Steigerung der Förderung von Öl und Gas gearbeitet.

  • Today, the U.S. is spending hundreds of millions to address the crisis of methane emissions. But as Tony Ingraffea says, this should have happened a decade ago (https://lnkd.in/eaFpkTrj) and it didn't because of a single person.
  • And none of this is in the past. Ernest Moniz is the single person in the entire world most responsible for legitimizing the hoax of #carboncapture.
  • And carbon capture is only reason that the global oil&gas cartel has been given a green light to #drilldrilldrill. -These lies matter, and they are devastating our world.

• key insight
  • claim
    • One big reason that big oil is funding GOP to keep the chaotic Trump story as the main headline is to foster distraction from climate change impacts
    • big news story in the US is Donald Trump and the election, climate change impacts of extreme weather is minimized
    • the distraction of politics from a chaotic GOP is perfect distraction for the masses to ignore climate change and for big oil to continue BAU
• paraphrase
• quote
  • when you take a step back and look at that part of the distraction and the chaos that Trump and these GOP trolls deliver
  • it's it's a wonderful Boon for the oil and gas industry and the Koch brothers and the guys that fund these campaigns and the federal Federalist Society that's owning the Supreme Court
  • they want to keep doing business as usual and the easiest way to do that is
    • to have this big chaotic GOP that ignores climate change and
    • to play into what they want
      • the mainstream media not focusing more on climate change let alone making those two connections
    • a lot of mainstream media is scared to make that connection because oil companies are paying the bills of CNN and every other network

• Title: Climate Homicide: Prosecuting Big Oil for Climate Deaths

• Author:

  • David Arkush
  • Donald Braman

• Abstract

• Paraphrase
  • Prosecutors regularly bring homicide charges against individuals and corporations
    • whose reckless or negligent acts or omissions
    • cause unintentional deaths,
    • as well as those whose misdemeanors or felonies cause unintentional deaths.
  • Fossil fuel companies learned decades ago that
    • what they
      • produced,
      • marketed, and
      • sold
    • would generate “globally catastrophic” climate change.
  • Rather than alert the public and curtail their operations,
    • they worked to
      • deceive the public about these harms and
      • to prevent regulation of their lethal conduct.
  • They funded efforts to
    • call sound science into doubt and
    • to confuse their
      • shareholders,
      • consumers, and
      • regulators.
    • poured money into political campaigns to elect or install
      • judges,
      • legislators, and
      • executive officials hostile to any
        • litigation,
        • regulation, or
        • competition
      • that might limit their profits.
  • Today, the climate change that they forecast
    • has already killed thousands of people in the United States,
    • and it is expected to become increasingly lethal for the foreseeable future.
  • Given the
    • extreme lethality of the conduct and
    • the awareness of the catastrophic risk
      • on the part of fossil fuel companies,
      • should they be charged with homicide?
  • Could they be convicted?
  • In answering these questions,
    • this Article makes several contributions to
      • our understanding of criminal law and
      • the role it could play in combating crimes committed at a massive scale.
  • It describes
    • the doctrinal and
    • social predicates of homicide prosecutions
  • where corporate conduct endangers much or all of the public.
  • It also identifies important advantages of
    • homicide prosecutions
    • relative to
      • civil and
      • regulatory remedies,
    • and it details
      • how and
      • why
    • prosecution for homicide may be the most effective legal remedy available in cases like this.
  • Finally, it argues that,
    • if our criminal legal system cannot focus more intently on climate crimes soon
    • we may leave future generations with significantly less for the law to protect.
