Hansen: Exxon, Peabody are committing "crimes against humanity"

onJun 24, 2008 @ 06:12 PDT

CEOs of fossil energy companies know what they are doing and are aware of long-term consequences of continued business as usual. In my opinion, these CEOs should be tried for high crimes against humanity and nature.

Loss of countless species would leave a more desolate planet.
