Thom Hartmann: Time to Consider Ecocide a Crime?



Our public officials, elected representatives, and business leaders could all be guilty of crimes against humanity. And it’s up to us to decide what we want to do about it. As the days go by and Congress continues to delay or obstruct doing anything about global warming, we pass climate tipping points that are so severe that once we pass them, people and large parts of the environment die. One of the most dangerous of these tipping points is the one associated with melting arctic sea ice and the possibility of tundra and seabed methane releases. If we don’t do something soon to stop this, it could quickly lead to the Earth’s sixth mass extinction.
