Climate criminals?

Should we jail politicians who refuse to take global warming seriously?
Is that a fascist approach?

There is (or was) a discussion about those issues here.

Greenpeace also has used that language while criticizing Exxon -
"Exxon: has climate criminal #1 seen the light?" - January, 2007

Of course, the label "criminal," in these cases, isn't associated with existing laws. It's more of a rhetorical move -- though that language also implies that leading us toward global warming should be against the law.

I'm not going to take a position on all of this -- not right now, anyway.
