Here's a question I've been thinking about. As Climate Change gets worse and worse and more and more people suffer and die, do you think the people that caused it will face justice? In particular, I'm talking about oil company oligarchs who make billions and are living in luxury at the expense of the life on our pale blue planet?

Namely, I'm referring to Rex Tillison, the evil Koch Brothers, the prick from BP that almost polluted the entire Gulf of Mexico where I swim, and perhaps worst of all the Bush Family, who got started in the refinery business in Houston and created a war mongering dynasty.

These guys make the Nazis look like boy scouts. Their crime against humanity isn't just a few million like Hitler, Stalin or Mao. Their crime is omnicide -- the killing of everything.

No they will not suffer in the way anybody else will. They will suffer, however by people not having money to spend in their enterprises as before.

Nope. Their wealth and privilege will sheild them from the effects for the most part.

A certain group jump up and down about fossil fuel etc. but still seem prepared to accept the benefits of such.

Where does the responsibility lie. It’s a continuum. The consumer, the transporter, the generator, the technician, the labourer, the investor. Not to mention those who have pension schemes etc. whose funds are invested in fossil fuel groups.

What justice to be meted out on these levels of involvement?

I just published this on another forum:

Rich, thanks for the reply to my question and my other Panglossian commentators. If I say to Margret, "But to me the evidence is overwhelming," am I being overemotional?  It's not only earthly temperature but climate change is hitting us on many fronts.  Just the destruction of the Great Barrier Coral Reef of Australia should engender immense fear.  Also soil erosion, depletion of aquifers all over the world, droughts, forest fires, animal extinction in the millions.  There's even a menacing concern about bees that pollinate our crops.  

My main concern is the melting of polar ice in the North Pole. Once the ice is gone and the Permafrost exposed to direct sunlight, eons-long dissolved methane will be released. It's much more potent in producing the greenhouse effect than CO2. I mentioned this before and I think it's pretty scary: The atmosphere of Venus is mostly methane and the planet is much hotter that Mercury which is closer to the sun. If you drop a silver dollar on the surface of Venus it'll melt in minutes.

What about the billions of people who use the oil on a daily basis . Should they face justice as well ?

Not the justice of the law. The justice of Gaia -- nature.

Nope. Not at all.

...do you think the people that caused it will face justice?

ROFLMAO

People can be so cute sometimes.

No. They won't get theirs until there is nothing left of the planet to destroy, no one else left to blame, nowhere left to run and all of their riches have no more value than the dead soil they stand upon.

By then the rest of us will be dead and have fortunately missed out on the worst of it. They can then ravage each other for the last drop of fresh water and the last scrap of edible food.

Not a hope in hell!

Sad to say, i doubt it too.

Not a chance!

That's not to mention President Trump. He didn't cause climate change but his head in the ground refusal to accept it, allowed it to get worse and worse.
