33. But nuclear reactors don't contribute to greenhouse gases.

So they're a totally different subject. I'm sorry to disagree with you, but we can't afford to go off fossil fuels and nuclear. When I say we can't afford it, I mean people will die if we do. Since fossils fuels are the priority, we need to concentrate on them.

Crime against humanity requires proof of criminal intent. Can we prove that anyone criminally intended to ruin the earth they live on, or is it just that they couldn't believe that something as great as capitalism could be destroying the earth? Rush Limbaugh, for instance, says that it's impossible human beings could have that big of an effect. So, they deny global warming because they removed it from the realm of the possible. Now, there's a point where that gets to be criminally negligent, and I think we've reached that point now.

Definitely they should be prosecuted if they have deliberately ruined the earth for profit, perhaps thinking that they can always buy up the part of it that's still habitable, surround it with their private army, and let the rest of us die off.

I have wondered if that's really been the plan of at least some of the wealthy. If we don't do something, it might be the outcome whether schemed out or not.
