Should Exxon Pay For Hurricane Destruction?
As global warming kicks into overdrive - it's high time we started executing some corporations.
As the monstrous Hurricane Irma hurtled its way through the Caribbean towards Miami and South Florida, a new study published in the journal Climatic Change has revealed just just how responsible Big Oil really is for global warming.
As the study's authors wrote in the Guardian - their findings show that:
"... nearly 30% of the rise in global sea level between 1880 and 2010 resulted from emissions traced to the 90 largest carbon producers... More than 6% of the rise in global sea level resulted from emissions traced to ExxonMobil, Chevron and BP, the three largest contributors."
So, should Big Oil companies be slapped with a carbon tax or face the corporate death penalty?

Article: " My Testimony for the Downing Street Memo Hearings" by Cindy Sheehan, June 16 2005. then Governor George Bush stated, "One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as commander in chief. My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it. If I have a chance to invade, if I had that much capital, I'm not going to waste it. I'm going to get everything passed that I want to get passed and I'm going to have a successful presidency."
Hour Three: China's doubling down on alternative energy & what that means in the future
Quote: " Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better" - Émile Coué.
