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.

Schwarzenegger said. “But the bottom line is that I’m a Republican, and I’m a true Republican, and I will always be a Republican.”
Arnold is as Republican as he is American with a dual American – Austrian citizenship.
More Ka-Ching,Ka-Ching Ka-Ching these Global Warming/Climate Change Scam is making some people wealthy through idiotic and frivolous lawsuits the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ are realy showing up for these crooks
Take that line of thinking a little farther and any user of fossil fuels is an accessory to murder. Sure, Arnold, you can find a law firm to take your case. You’ll need a miracle finding respect.
The user is NOT an accessory to murder, the user IS the murderer. The user is the one producing the killer CO2. Compare this to guns for example. The gun manufacturer is not the murderer. The user of the gun is. Arnold should go after the real murderers: Leonardo DiCaprio has a carbon footprint 22 times the average American. Al Gores Tennessee mansion uses 21 times the electricity of the average American home.
Who knew that being a body builder and then 2nd rate actor could make one a climate expert. Perhaps he took too many steroids.
