Schwarzenegger Plans to Sue Big Oil for “Murder”

I'm not sure how this one was missed but here it is straight from the Terminator himself. What? Arnold is taking on Monolithic Oil Companies?

At first glance one might assume somethings up right? I mean He's rubbed shoulders with the Highest of High [not that high]. Makes me wonder.

The terminator is back. And this time he has Big Oil in his sights. Ex-Californian Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, has vowed to take on Big Oil “for knowingly killing people all over the world.”

priceofoil.org...

The fact that oil companies knew about the dangers of climate change and denied the evidence has become known globally as the #Exxonknew scandal. The evidence of Big Oil’s culpability has been slowly amassed over the years by journalists, researchers, academics, activists and politicians. For a quick overview of Exxon’s decade’s-long climate denial campaign go here.

Schwarzenegger wants to sue the oil companies to make them accountable. He continued at the SXSW festival: “We’re going to go after them, and we’re going to be in there like an Alabama tick. If you walk into a room and you know you’re going to kill someone, it’s first degree murder; I think it’s the same thing with the oil companies,” said Schwarzenegger.

This is basically terminator level virtue signaling.

If they knew and hid it yup I hope he wins just like they did against the cigarette companies.

He's part of the problem though. It wasn't until recently that his car collection was made up of nothing but gas hogs, and he was very proud of that fact. Sure now he has taken the stance of getting them all converted over to electric, but he still is part of the problem. If he really wants to make a difference he should start by looking into fossil fuel alternatives like Kevin Costner.

Quote from article...

Every gas station on it, every car should have a warning label on it, every product that has fossil fuels should have a warning label on it.”

I can see it now...

WARNING: This vehicle utilizes an energy source known to the State of California to cause climate change.

I wonder, when has the climate not changed or been changing? ever?

Strange times.

I agree, Costner is doing his part more than some. So either Arnie has turned a new leaf and the masters have changed hands, or Oil will become obsolete in favor of synthetic? I'm talking decades away, possibly less. Or they're planning something else we're not privy to as of yet.

There should be warnings just like GMO food. Unfortunately, Warnings can only go so far in their preventative measures. It's going to be a while before solid state measures are put in place, measures that will appease everyone, not just the few.

I find it hilarious that some of you think this is anything more than a frivolous lawsuit. Please put me on the jury I would love to nullify this BS litigation.

He has to prove he has standing to sue and he doesn't. Though he is in California so you never know what the goofball courts there will do.

What a bunch of BS, lol someone thinks they can use this ploy to regain some relevance. F@ck Arnold, it didnt stop him from buying countless cars, running AC in all is Cali villas...just stupid

a reply to: Ksihkehe

that...and its not like he can sue an "industry" just more BS to try to sway the soft minded turds of America

Yeah, this is pretty pathetic and frivolous. The Terminator is running on a damaged CPU it seems.

Which is exactly why we're analyzing it.

a reply to: BotheLumberJack

nothing against the op, take it easy...you surely didnt expect a supportive response to this?

a reply to: BlueJacket

It's all cool. I'm just analyzing the responses from everyone along with the article. I'm as analytical as they come.

But seriously, I'm left wondering what's going on behind the scenes, because last time I checked, Big Oil ran half the world. So someone like Schwarzenegger taking them on, makes me wonder if it's one gang against the other. And by gang I mean Monopoly.

It seems everyone has an opinion on this.

Environmentalism: Climate change expert Arnold Schwarzenegger recently declared that he will be suing oil companies for murder because use of their product is warming the planet. Here's a better idea: Thank the oil industry for contributing to unprecedented prosperity around the world.

Prosperity for all!! 'yeah ok'. But for how long

Global Warming? Nyet. I think that one is the pipe dream of a dreamer called Al Gore. You know that guy, ex Vice President/Creator of the Internet.

Your turn.

Cigarettes at $9.00 @ pack don't bother most people. But $9.00 @ gallon gasoline would be terrible for the economy.

Nancy and Arnold go well together.
