This climatologist is quite right. There would have to be a trial before the Hague Tribunal as for the perpetrators of genocide, but there we can always dream.

According to the director of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) - one of NASA's leading climate science laboratories - the climate machine is near a "dangerous tipping point". It is necessary, he says, to reform agricultural and forestry practices, to tax carbon, to establish a moratorium on the construction of new coal-fired power stations and to ban them completely, on a global scale, by 2030.

The researcher predicts a rise in sea level of around 2 meters by the end of this century if nothing is done to limit greenhouse gas emissions - an estimate much higher than those generally stated.

I notice that it is also a question of coal power plants (see subject on Germany) !!!
