In response to Judgment Day: Final retribution for the ecocidal psychopaths

The beginning of a climate change solution

Obviously Jonathan Page is furious with fossil fuel leaders who still continue pushing their product, given that “lots of millions of human deaths will have resulted from FFC activity”. He outlines three possible actions in Australia: charge them based on our existing law against harming society; charging Fossil Fuel Companies; or charging FFC executives.

Interestingly, six years ago far-sighted climate scientist Joelle Gergis referred in her book to “climate change as an intergenerational crime against humanity” (Sunburnt Country, 2018, p. 226).

My own family’s life has also been harmed in that son Lachlan GP lost everything- patients, friends, clinic, his home and contents- in the tragic Marysville Black Saturday intense bushfires in 2009.

Now, in 2024, the need for ending fossil fuels is more imperative than ever. I suggest that the federal government should take action but first warn the FFC companies and executives; and encourage them to change fast to clean energy from now on and before 2030.
