New climate paper calls for charging big
US oil firms with homicide

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”.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Waco - A defiant and incendiary Donald Trump, facing a potential indictment, held the first rally of his 2024 presidential campaign Saturday in Waco, Texas, a city made famous by deadly resistance against law enforcement. In an extraordinary display, Trump opened his rally by playing a song, “Justice for All,” that features a choir of men imprisoned for their role in the Jan. 6, 2021, deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol singing the national anthem and a recording of Trump reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Some footage from the insurrection was shown on screens. Trump, in a speech brimming with resentments

Mansoor Adayfi, a Yemeni citizen who was held for 14 years at Guantanamo Bay, claimed that Ron DeSantis observed his brutal force-feeding by guards during a hunger strike in 2006. The story was published in The Independent last week. When I read the hit piece against DeSantis last week, I thought to myself that it is just another story meant to ding DeSantis up before he announces his candidacy for the Republican nomination for president. It seems that every day brings a new story or two from Democrats or Trump loyalists who are attempting to keep DeSantis out of the primary.

"I really don't want to give Donald Trump the satisfaction of talking about him," Maher chuckled as he began the conversation. "I thought when he was gone, he'd be gone a little bit. But, you know, there is an ex-president out there now who's going to be arrested — possibly. And he is talking about violence in the streets of his supporters if he does."

Ron DeSantis has pioneered a new strategy in dealing with the press. Namely, he largely ignores them. For years, outlets like CNN and The New York Times have relied on access to politicians they despise and constantly smear. And for years, Republicans have played along, believing they need the publicity in order to communicate with the American public. Even Donald Trump, famously adversarial with the press, has continued to give interviews to people like Maggie Haberman and Bob Woodward. DeSantis has chosen another path, not even bothering to give his political enemies, which the press obviously are, the free material.

Actually three different countries claim the Paracel Islands but China currently occupies them. Here’s a map showing the locations of some of the disputed islands in the South China Sea. So when the USS Milius sailed around the Paracel Islands Thursday, China reacted by claiming they had forced the destroyer out of their territory.

Intel co-founder Gordon Moore, a legendary technologist who foresaw the transformative possibilities of semiconductor technology and helped chart the industry’s revolutionary path, died Friday at age 94. Intel said Moore died at his home in Hawaii. Before helping launch Intel with colleague Robert Noyce in 1968, Moore had prophesized exponential growth in semiconductor technology. In a seminal 1965 paper, Moore predicted that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit would double annually as technology advanced – a maxim that became Moore’s Law, one of the computer chip industry’s guidance principles.

A federal judge has rejected former President Donald Trump's claims of executive privilege and has ordered Mark Meadows and other former top aides to testify before a federal grand jury investigating Trump's efforts to overturn the election leading up to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, multiple sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News. Meadows, Trump's former chief of staff, was subpoenaed along with the other former aides by Special counsel Jack Smith for testimony and documents related to the probe. Trump's legal team had challenged the subpoenas by asserting executive privilege, which is the right of a president to keep confidential the communications he has with advisers.

Ford Motor Company says its electric vehicle (EV) unit, “Ford Model e,” is losing billions of dollars, and should be viewed as a startup company. Model e has lost $3 billion before taxes over the last two years, and is expected to lose another $3 billion this year as the company invests in the new technology, according to a report by Associated Press. In 2021, Ford’s Model e unit had pretax losses of $900 million. And in 2022, that number was $2.1 billion. Ford reportedly believes Model e will be profitable before taxes by late 2026, with an eight percent pretax profit margin.
