Just what the climate needed — setting Tehran's oil storage facilities on fire.

@randahl yeah my thoughts along all wars... So much of everything wasted.

@randahl Both well past their use by date.

@Su_G It makes sense. Venezuela is the nation with the biggest proven oil reserves.

Saudi Arabia is second, but they've been throwing money at Trump.

Iran is third.

Israel may be destroying the reason Trump got in on this.

@catscatscats @randahl If Elon Musk wants to go to Mars, he should bring Zuckerberg, Bezos, Gates, George Soros, the Koches, and the entire British Royal Family. They can finally have their own planet.

@mcourcel @ml @randahl That is the only good thing about nuclear weapons. It puts the leaders back on the battlefield. And THAT is why they are so obsessed with "nuclear nonproliferation."

@mike805 @randahl If we're making a list, there's a set of government files with a bunch of names I'd like to add

@catscatscats @randahl They can go on the second boat. Billionaires first. There is land to grab!

We have to find a way to block pathological narcissists from positions of power, both political ( #Trump, #Netanyahu ) and economical ( #Musk ).

It's a local humanitarian disaster and will destroy a lot of fragile mountain and desert habitat, but as far as global climate is concerned, all that oil was going to be burned anyway, because it already had been extracted.

@randahl All that oil was going to be burned either way. Doesn't change the amount of CO2 if ot burns open or in an engine.
The attacks on the production facilities (refineries, pumps) on the other hand are probably the single most effective climate action ever.

I did some research on how the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Putin even though Russia is not a State Party. The answer gives me hope that Trump and Hegseth could still be prosecuted in the ICC even though the USA is not a State Party.

The arrest warrant for Putin came about because Ukraine, although not yet a fully-fledged State Party, accepted the jurisdiction of the ICC. That was enough.

So, I can envision a collection of State Parties and other states accepting the jurisdiction of the ICC making the case that the USA’s war on Iran has been such a scientifically provable disaster for the environment that it amounts to a crime against humanity.
