Does this idea have merit: Start a crowd funding effort (worldwide) to help fund the International Court of Justice at the Hague to start a trial against world leaders who are not taking appropriate steps to at least limit human effects on the climate crisis. If there are no penalties for not acting, then that is the easiest and worst route to take. Trump (I prefer drumpt) should be the first name on the list because he is acting to worsen the climate crisis. And while that court is at it, trying drumpf for other crimes against humanity, such as the handling of illegal immigrants should also rate atrial. Congress (due to Mitch McConnellin the Senate) isn’t going to punish drumpf, though voters certainly can. But time is of the essence. So put Mitch McConnell on the list of those who are committing crimes against humanity. In fact, put drumpf and McConnell at the top of the list and make an example out of them. If they choose to leave the USA, then they can face arrest if convicted. That’s a satisfying outcome.
I am not a legal expert, but many of DKreaders are. I hope we can have a usefuldiscussion on this topic. Something,everything and anything must happen to break the spell of complacency.
