On the heels of Schwarzenegger idiocy, the Washington Post’s unhinged Tom Toles takes his own stab
Should climate change be called murder? What do you call knowingly killing people?
This seems like as good a time as any to shift the climate argument from the debate club to criminal court, and former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger intends to do just that.
“I don’t think there’s any difference: If you walk into a room and you know you’re going to kill someone, it’s first-degree murder; I think it’s the same thing with the oil companies.â€
Murder. Yes, it’s about time somebody started to use language that captures the actual effect of deliberately delaying the transition to carbon-free fuel. Will people really die as a result of climate change? They already have, from the amplification of the power of storms, to more intense drought, wildfires and flooding. The World Health Organization estimates that between 2030 and 2050, 250,000 people will die from climate change. EVERY YEAR. From malnutrition, malaria, diarrhea and heat stress.
So, um, when will Tom Toles demand that Washington Post stop using fossil fuels and killing trees for their operations?
