From the “you can’t make this stuff up” department, comes this pronouncement from the guy who popularized the gas-guzzling CO2 belching Hummer military vehicle for his own LA commutes. His self-awareness must be zero.
Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Sunday he is going to sue big oil companies for “first-degree murder.”
During a live recording of a Politico podcast, Schwarzenegger said he was talking to several private law firms about taking on oil companies in court.
The Hollywood actor compared oil to the tobacco industry, and said both are “knowingly killing people all over the world.” Schwarzenegger said the tobacco industry had to pay millions of dollars in court for hiding the fact that tobacco had adverse side effects, and said he hopes oil companies will have to do the same.
“The oil companies knew from 1959 on, they did their own study that there would be global warming happening because of fossil fuels, and on top of it that it would be risky for people’s lives, that it would kill,” Schwarzenegger said Sunday.
Schwarzenegger suggested oil companies have warning labels on its products that are “killing people,” just like tobacco products.
“I don’t think there’s any difference: 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,” Schwarzenegger said.

I don’t claim to expert on anything. Even those things I’m most expert on, I know there are others who know more.
This guy was a governor of California. He doesn’t know that a private citizen can’t sue anybody for “first-degree murder.”?!
Murder is a criminal, not a civil offence.
(Mod alert! Snip this OT “PS” if you see fit.)
PS Here in the US there has been a recent upsurge in the “gun control” movement. A lot of support coming from Hollywood-types. Yet, their prop departments have had the “real things” for decades. Why hasn’t California confiscated it’s arsenal?
When will Hollywood do gooders like Arnold demand that all of the airports be closed.
That would really reduce unnecessary emissions.
And planes flying into buildings.
PEOPLE! Stop making decisions based on the emotions “they” would have you feel!
Look at the facts, including the facts “they” would hide from you.
“They” want to push your buttons, but they are your buttons. Forget that, and “they” are in control. You have become a puppet.
PS Who are “they”? Those who seek control. The Elite.
A friendly word of advice Arnie. I’d be mighty careful about where this propensity to sue is all going to end up as the plant food doomsdayers need to watch their backs-

His action does not rise to the level of stupidity.
Arnie put California in top gear in the race to the bottom – and it’s stuck in top gear.
Moonbeam went from top gear to over drive.
Arnold probably needs some child support money!
I am going to sue Arnold for :
a) murdering the English language,
b) taking money under false pretenses that he can act .
I am trying to think of a way I can sue Californians for electing this guy in the first place so that he believes he has relevance.
I’m a victim, there must be money in it somewhere (Sarc.)
Technically these companies sell oil. They do not produce CO2. That happens at the customer side. It is the customer who polutes with CO2.
May I amend that, “it is the customers who helps crops and trees grow via CO2 emissions.
All oxygen went to the muscles. His brain cells are dead due to lack of oxygen. He’s a walking fungus

If you live in a 1000 sq ft townhouse, own a single small car which you rarely drive, and rarely travel anywhere, then you can lecture me on global warming.
“Wants to” and doing so are two different things, especially in Hollywood and Sacramento.
