Not only should a human impact statement be required for fossil fuel facilities and production but an all of life impact statements as well to account for the plants the animals the trees and all of the myriad forms of life that fossil fuels extinguish every day.

A very powerful statement Julian thank you that needs to be amplified throughout the planet.

A Human Impact statement will be just one more form of bureaucratic bullshit that corporations will produce and ignore. Corporations and state corporations own all the forms of supposed regulatory oversight, so who or what is supposed to enforce the rules against mass murder?

Humans are ultrasocial cooperative predators who are completely deficient in perpetuating effective self- government. Julian is absolutely correct and profound in his diagnosis, but many folks are starting to realize the inescapability of the self-imposed fossil fuel trap.
