Climate change expert Arnold Schwarzenegger recently declared that he will be suing oil companies for murder because use of their product is warming the planet. Here's a better idea: Thank the oil industry for contributing to unprecedented prosperity around the world.
Speaking to Politico during the SXSW festival in Texas, Schwarzenegger said that he will be mounting a lawsuit against oil companies "for knowingly killing people all over the world."
"This is no different from the smoking issue," Schwarzenegger said. "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."
"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," he said.
You don't have to look very hard to see that Schwarzenegger's tobacco analogy completely breaks down.
First, tobacco's contribution to cancer, for example, is a well-documented scientific fact.
In contrast, the claim that global warming will kill people sometime down the road is entirely theoretical, based on unreliable computer models that have trouble predicting what's already happened with climate, let alone what will take place 100 years from now, compounded by unreliable doomsday scenarios peddled by environmental extremists.
As we noted in this space recently, the journal Nature published a study recently that cast serious doubt on any doomsday scenario.
Those global-warming-will-kill-people horror stories also overlook the far more likely outcome: That mankind will adopt and continue to thrive, even if the climate does noticeably change.
That point was made compellingly by science journalist Will Boisvert

I think Arnie is getting out ahead of some revelation about his sex life. Or he finally snapped.

Haven’t we already found out about his out of wedlock child with the nanny? You mean there’s more to this?
Oh there is a lot more. So far he has kept it quite but the dam could let loose anytime.
Hey Arnold, stick to something you know about, like hosing the illegal Maid.
Would those be the same oil companies that provided the fuel for Schwarzenegger to make a 3 hour daily commute
in his private jet back and forth from his home Brentwood to Sacramento when he was governor of California?
Schwarzenegger’s Gulfstream jet does nearly as much damage to the environment in one hour as a small car does
in a year, according to figures compiled by the Helium Report, an online publication for buyers of luxury items.
He is a weightlifter. Always was, always will be.
His steroid taking has finally affected his brain.
I always said he was a nazi bastard just like his father.
