Do you think one day the CEOs of Exxon will be tried in court like the CEOs of tobacco companies? James Hansen, one of the world’s leading climate scientists, has called for the chief executives of large fossil fuel companies to be put on trial for high crimes against humanity and nature, accusing them of actively spreading doubt about global warming in the same way that tobacco companies blurred the links between smoking and cancer.

Do you think Hansen%26#039;s calls will one day be heeded, and the CEOs of ExxonMobile will be brought to trial for spreading misinformation which harmed everyone on earth just like tobacco company CEOs were tried for spreading misinformation that harmed cigarette smokers?

Amy - yes, those Exxon commercials make me sick. I%26#039;ve yelled at the TV several times when they%26#039;ve come on.

Exxon already paid over 1 Billion in fines-- plus the cleanup effort-- this is just a bunch of %26quot;ambulance chasing%26quot; lawyers STILL trying to get rich.

But what crime has Exxon committed, the engineering, funding and advertising of the Mann/Hansen/Gore global warming fraud. Mann and Hansen had the idea and Gore went to his boss David Rockefeller to put the package together. Part of the deal Gore worked out with Rockefeller was opening the Elk Hill reserve to exploitation and this is why he was given the vice president job with Clinton.

David has wanted this all his life because his grandfather’s attempt at stealing this oil field is what brought about trust busting a hundred years ago. The Rockefellers now have the Navies oil and it was Al Gore that got it for him at a bargain basement price. But gore did even more and got David an Indian graveyard in Columbia as a bonus for funding and promoting the AGW scam for him.

Seems Al Gore owns more oil company stock than the Bush family and the Cheny family combined. Amazing what you can find when you dig just a little bit.

  Misinformation - you mean like constantly getting your temperature predictions wrong?
  
  There are legitimate holes in the theory - elements of your case that remain unproven, simply alleged. Pointing that out is not %26quot;spreading disinformation%26quot; or %26quot;muddying the water.%26quot;
  
  Just because people disagree with you doesn%26#039;t mean you have a right to %26quot;put them on trial%26quot; or that they%26#039;re %26quot;committing crimes against humanity.%26quot;
