Amy Westervelt und Kyle Pope fassen kurz und treffend die wichtigsten Desinformationstaktiken der Fossilindustrie zusammen: - Fossilindustrie als Garantin der Energiesicherheit - Gegensatz von Wirtschaft und Umwelt - Verbraucher:innen brauchen fossile Energien für ihren Lebensstandard - Fossilindustrien sind Teil der Lösung, nicht des Problems - Fossilindustrien als Wohltäterinnen und Sponsorinnen.

Eine Gruppe von NGOs hat ein Konzept für eine Klimaschaden-Steuer ausgearbeitet, zu der Öl- und Gasgesellschaften ausgehend vom von ihnen verursachten CO2-Ausstoß herangezogen würden. Würde die Steuer in den OECD-Ländern mit 5$ pro Kilotonne CO2 beginnen und sich jährlich um weitere 5$ erhöhen, stünden 2030 jährlich 900 Milliarden $ vor allem für den Loss and Damage Fund zur Verfügung, der bei der COP28 beschlossen wurde.

Die fünf größten westlichen Ölgesellschaften haben seit der Invasion der gesamten Ukraine vor zwei Jahren insgesamt 281 Milliarden Dollar Gewinn gemacht. Sie zahlen damit Rekord-Dividenden an ihre Investoren und investieren gleichzeitig enorme Summen in die weitere fossile Expansion. Shell fährt sein Programm zur Entwicklung erneuerbarer Energien zurück und hat die Selbstverpflichtung aufgegeben, die Ölproduktion jährlich zu reduzieren.https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/feb/19/worlds-largest-oil-companies-have-made-281bn-profit-since-invasion-of-ukraine

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

In einem der wichtigsten laufenden Prozesse gegen Fossilunternehmen hat der Staat Kalifornien 5 amerikanische Firmen verklagt. Ein Ziel ist es, einen Ausgleichsfonds für zukünftige Schäden einzurichten, zu denen es durch die bewusst wahrheitswidrige Werbung und Kommunikation der Unternehmen gekommen ist. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/15/business/california-oil-lawsuit-newsom.html

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.
- what they
- 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 worked to
- 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.
- this Article makes several contributions to
- 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.
- Prosecutors regularly bring homicide charges against individuals and
corporations
