“Nuremberg trials for imperiling all and bringing on mass extinction of species” - by Andrew Glikson
“As mean global temperatures, storms and sea level rise keep rising toward uninhabitable conditions in many parts of the world and thousands of nuclear missiles are aimed to be triggered by accident or design is it too early or already too late for Nuremberg-type trials for those responsible for the ongoing greenhouse gas saturation of the atmosphere and the creation of a doomsday machine?
None of these infringements falls within the category of ordinary human offences, rather their consequences for the Earth’s life support system are orders of magnitude larger than even their perpetrators could imagine, namely a major mass extinction of species analogous to the end-Ordovician (86% species extinguished), Permian-Triassic (96 Species extinguished) and Cretaceous-Tertiary (76% species extinguished) (Figure 1A) consequent on carbon emission rates some 9–10 times higher than those during onset of the Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum.
The coating of the Earth biosphere with the toxic residues of buried hydrocarbon and their processed plastic products in the form of carbon particles, oil spills, methane and carbon gases, microplastics and related rise in temperatures are threatening the fate of species, including human civilization.
Taking no heed of this warning, the species Homo “sapiens” has perfected a virtual doomsday machine under which it is living on borrowed time. Believing it is a ‘chosen species’ sapiens has rarely asked itself what has it been chosen for?
Leaders, so-called, forcing the atmosphere into a >4 degrees Celsius-high radioactive hell, including corporate chiefs, top executives, billionaires and their conscious-free political mouthpieces, members of parliaments, ministers and presidents, will be recorded in history as first in line to hell, driving the innocent hapless masses into oblivion.
But if “leaders” failed to protect the people from global warming and nuclear war, they succeeded splendidly in hiding the truth, starting with climate change denial, proceeding with accounting tricks and with claims of domestic emission reduction, while at the same time opening new coal mines, oil wells and coal seam gas fracking, exporting the hydrocarbons throughout the atmosphere.
These people know who they are, even if they do not fully understand the monstrous consequences of what they are doing or avoiding doing!
But if Nuremberg Trials are not conducted now, then when?

We are, at least temporarily, all insane. We are running out of time. Global war and global warming are now threats to all life on Earth, including our own.
We are the Earth’s existing humans and we are running about trying to figure out who’s to blame. We don’t have time to figure out who’s to blame, punish them and then start over. We are depending on ad hoc actions and donations to respond to the damage we are, ourselves causing.
A growing number of us around the world, especially our children, are already victims, or will soon be victims, of our current strategies for responding to threats to all life ~ global war and global warming.
When it comes to current strategies we are relying on past human thinking to guide us. Their laws, their documents, their institutions, but “Do what you can with what you have on hand.” is not a workable strategy.
Our ancestor’s tools do, and will continue to help us when we are addressing problems we both faced, but of little use when 8B existing humans are facing unprecedented, global threats to life as we know it.
We have everything we need to effectively end global war and global warming, but it won’t happen before we end our temporary insanity, and agree to cooperate with one another globally.”

Monthly Northern Hemisphere Land Temperature Anomaly
Temperatures have been rising fast in March 2023. The image below shows the Monthly Northern Hemisphere Land Temperature Anomaly up to March 2023, with two trends added. The blue trend, based on Jan.1850-Mar.2023 NOAA data, points at a 3°C rise in 2032. The magenta trend, based on Oct.2010-Mar.2023 NOAA data, better reflects variables such as El Niño and sunspots, and illustrates how they could trigger a rise of more than 5°C in 2026. Anomalies are versus 1901-2000 (not versus pre-industrial).

We sued the Biden administration to stop the Willow project – a massive oil drilling expansion in Alaska’s Arctic.
This project could lead to over 239 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions that would wreak havoc on the planet and imperiled wildlife. The Arctic is already warming four times faster than the rest of the planet. If this project proceeds, the cost to biodiversity and the climate will be irreparable.”

And and don't spend any more on it after prosecuting and imprisoning all those responsible for fleecing the American people, senators, congressman, presidents, and the heads of the military industrial complex. Laugh loudly! That might happen in a democracy. But the United States provides no power (only the pretend) to its citizens through The ballot box. So the fleecers are safe.
Then, please! Get rid of the US Military, and all the damn bases, except for at home defense.
"Ukraine is Out of Ammo
One sad fact for Ukraine is that, according to the leaked report, Ukraine is down to only 9,788 artillery shells on hand, or enough to sustain combat for a few days.
The report claims only 1,104 shells were expended in the previous 24 hour period – compared to at least 20,000 for Russia. Josep Borrell (Time Magazine) claims Russia is burning through 50,000 shells a day, but that is probably an exaggeration based on the maximum burn rate."”
