Oil companies have come under increasing legal scrutiny and face allegations of defrauding investors, racketeering, and a wave of other lawsuits. But a new paper argues there’s another way to hold big oil accountable for climate damage: trying companies for homicide.
The striking and seemingly radical legal theory is laid out in a paper accepted for publication in the Harvard Environmental Law Review. In it, the authors argue fossil fuel companies “have not simply been lying to the public, they have been killing members of the public at an accelerating rate, and prosecutors should bring that crime to the public’s attention”.

And the Biden/Garland DOJ says: "Hey why didn't we think of that?"

By pushing a completely failed hypothesis on the cause of climate change thereby ruining economies, impoverishing countries, and destroying our food supplies, Climate Cult Fanatics, such as that paper's authors “have not simply been lying to the public, they have been killing members of the public at an accelerating rate." They oughta be hung.

Let’s charge heroin and fentanyl dealers with homicide instead of letting them out of jail. This is all Patrick of the insane cult of climate stupidity. In the Old days we used to call Climate change…. Weather.

Just another symptom of the destruction of the republic led by the communist higher education cabal and democrat party!
Eventually, they will declare that humanity is a blight on Mother Earth and will advocate for population reduction! Tolerate this insanity at the peril of your very existence!

Homicide!? Why, those fiends must be stopped immediately. Not another gallon. Think of all the lives we'll save.

And let's have these nitwits try to live without petroleum products in the hospitals. And the first thing they should give up are their computers amd every single thing made of plastic or coated with paint. These people are really too stupid for words and why anyone would listen to them or write about them is beyond me. The fact that they would try to pull this fraud on the public is appalling. Their group ignorance knows no bounds.

Good. Do it. Maybe it will Wake. the oil execs. Up!
Oil execs had better get their heads outa their...oil wells and respond to the climate freaks while they still can. Half the country has only a tenuous grasp on reality. They'd better start talking sense to the other half before the weight of this mass movement rolls over us all.
NO claim is too outrageous. No falsehood is too transparent for the revolutionaries to run up the flag pole. Do you not understand that the same third of the country that thinks a man can give birth can also be led to think you should be strung up for murder?

Climate cultists are trying to kill hundreds of millions of people. They should be charged with homicide.
Fun game! We can all play!

How in the world did these climate freaks ever achieve any influence at all? They clearly are demented. It is criminal what they have done. This whole climate change scheme is nothing more than a weapon of control. Charge them in The Hague for crimes against humanity! If they get their way, billions will die because of their insane climate religion.

Considering that OIL is the primary component of modern MEDICINES, it would be a straightforward argument to make that Oil Companies are deserving of much acclaim for SAVING life, not taking it.

I can write a paper charging leftist, past and present electeds with racketeering, theft on a massive level, homicide, genocide, destruction of neighborhoods/the family/culture/religion, drug infestations, debauchery, and a whole host of evil criminal things. Will they ever be held accountable? Would Harvard accept my paper? I doubt it. So bump their stupid paper.

First of all, they have to prove that the climate has been damaged and that the oil companies were responsible for it. Almost all of these climate nutjobs are under the age of forty. Most of them are under the age of thirty. I'd like to take them back to the early sixties and have them look around at the environment as it existed then. The air was dirtier. The water was dirtier. Trash was everywhere, and people burned their trash (at least where I lived) in 55-gallon drums in the backyard. There were no garbage collectors who came around twice a week to pick up your trash. Trucks would come down our road where we lived twice a year to spray DDT to kill the mosquitoes. Being kids who were left alone to play outside, we would ride our bikes behind the truck and scream I can't see you to the other kids we played with. To us kids, it was fun to be in the cloud. All of us are now in our mid to late sixties and have no health issues. Imagine how today's kids and parents would react if a similar truck drove through the neighborhood today. Most likely the kids wouldn't even know a truck was there because they would be inside on TikTok or playing video games.

Better to charge the ecocrazies with homicide for wrecking normal, safe life.

We all need to counter-sue Climate Change imbeciles with fraud and theft of taxpayer dollars. They are entitled to live out their fantasy only if it doesn't affect sane people.

And all this from a complete freakin hoax. A religion, a cult so bad that not one, not one freakin dire prediction covering the last 80 years has ever come true. Science means nothing to them while are creating their own science. Their computer models, all fed false information to create the outcome of their choice. With these communists facts don't matter, they can't because real science exposes their agenda as a hoax. Plain and simple. Got it..
