Climate conductors liability
When global heating helps to cause an unusual event and that event is
clearly the cause of a specific person's death, that can make it
possible to
charge oil companies with homicide.
Global heating effects
contribute
to many deaths, but (in my limited understanding) that is not enough basis legally to charge big
contributors to global heating with homicide. Occasionally, as here, there is a specific
heating-provoked event one can point to as the direct cause of a person's death. IANAFL ????, but it
seems that that can provide a basis for charges, at least in France.
