Holding someone accountable as per the law seems like a distraction to you? Ok, I guess you don't agree with one of the fundamental organizing principles of our society then. Lets just agree to disagree and you can go live in a cave.

You are missing my point. I am not saying you should not hold them accountable, I am saying we have a more important problem. We should focus on minimizing the fallout of climate change instead of getting us distracted with a blame game and figuring out the appropriate punishments.
> I am not saying you should not hold them accountable

You did imply exactly that.

> Do we make them pay a huge fine and climate change is averted? This seems pure distraction to me.

If holding them accountable is a distraction, that implies we shouldn't be doing it.

So yeah, you did kind of say it.

I don't really care about fines. I think the people in charge at that time should be investigated, their internal communication, coordination, and fraud should be exposed, and then they should be put in jail for fraud, if they're still alive. You call this a distraction. I call it making a point.
