The continuation of hydrocarbon consumption is not merely a policy failure or economic misjudgment—it is a crime against humanity and the planet itself, tantamount to environmental terrorism. Those who advocate for the ongoing production and use of fossil fuels are complicit in accelerating the catastrophic damage to Earth's ecosystems, pushing us towards the brink of the sixth mass extinction.
Fossil fuels are the root cause of the climate crisis. By releasing billions of tons of CO2 and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, they are driving global temperatures higher at an unprecedented rate, leading to devastating consequences: wildfires, floods, droughts, and extreme weather events that ravage communities across the world. The next climate tipping point is set to begin as early as 2025, after which the impacts will likely become irreversible
.
To protect this destructive industry is to deliberately sabotage the future of all life on Earth. The decision to uphold the status quo of hydrocarbon dependence is nothing short of environmental genocide, as it is knowingly pushing ecosystems and species, including humans, towards extinction. According to climate scientists, we are already dangerously close to the edge of runaway climate change, where feedback loops such as the melting of polar ice caps and the thawing of permafrost will release even more greenhouse gases, locking the planet into an uninhabitable state.
Anyone who defends or profits from this lethal industry is actively contributing to the demise of not only current generations but all future ones. The sixth mass extinction is already underway, driven by habitat loss, pollution, and climate change—factors directly tied to fossil fuel consumption. As sea levels rise, food systems collapse, and biodiversity dwindles, there is no moral justification for continuing down this path of destruction. Every additional ton of carbon released into the atmosphere is a nail in the coffin of life on Earth.
We are out of time. The catastrophic consequences of inaction or further delay will haunt the planet for millennia. The individuals and institutions that support hydrocarbon industries should be held fully accountable under international law for the irreversible damage they have caused. This is not just an environmental issue—it is a question of justice, and those responsible must face the full weight of the law for their crimes against nature and humanity.
The evidence is clear: climate tipping points are approaching faster than previously anticipated. By 2025, many climate systems will be irreversibly altered, triggering extreme changes that will devastate ecosystems and human societies alike. To allow this to continue is to align oneself with destruction and death, to side against the very survival of humanity and life on Earth.
It is time to treat the perpetuation of hydrocarbon consumption for what it truly is: an act of war against the Earth.

These financial actors play a key role in financing and expanding the global oil and gas industry and have been criticized for their contributions to the climate crisis through their continued support of fossil fuels.
To develop an effective strategy against financial operators linked to hydrocarbons, it is crucial to address the issue from a legal perspective, based on established international principles, and seek ways to maximize legal and social pressure on these institutions. Here are some legal terms and principles that can be key to this strategy:
1. Polluter Pays Principle
·??????????????????? This internationally recognized principle holds those who cause pollution accountable for the costs of environmental damage and remediation. Many countries have incorporated this principle into their legislation, which could be used to sue banks and investment funds that finance oil and gas projects.
·??????????????????? Strategy: Sue financial institutions for financing projects that violate this principle, arguing that by financing polluting companies, they are direct accomplices in environmental damage.
2. Precautionary Principle
·??????????????????? Established in the Rio Declaration of 1992, this principle states that when there is a risk of severe or irreversible environmental damage, the lack of scientific certainty should not be a reason to delay preventive measures.
·??????????????????? Strategy: File lawsuits against financial operators for failing to apply the precautionary principle when financing fossil fuel projects, as these projects expose humanity to irreversible harm such as climate change and the sixth mass extinction.
3. Ecocide Crimes
·??????????????????? Although ecocide is not formally recognized as an international crime in all legal systems, there are international movements to include it in the International Criminal Court. Ecocide involves massive environmental damage, endangering human communities and biodiversity.
·??????????????????? Strategy: Push for ecocide to be considered an international crime in more countries, allowing financial operators to be prosecuted similarly to war crimes. This could extend to shared responsibility between companies and the institutions that finance them.
4. Access to Environmental Justice
·??????????????????? According to Principle 10 of the Rio Declaration, all individuals must have access to information on environmental issues and the opportunity to participate in decision-making processes. They must also have access to justice in environmental matters.
·??????????????????? Strategy: Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and citizen groups can use this principle to sue banks and investment funds, arguing that by financing companies that contribute to climate change and biodiversity loss, they are violating communities' rights to live in a healthy and safe environment.
5. Human Rights and Climate Change
·??????????????????? The United Nations has already begun to recognize that climate change has direct implications for human rights, such as the right to life, water, health, and property.
·??????????????????? Strategy: Accuse financial institutions of violating human rights for their complicity in financing projects that accelerate climate change. Arguments could focus on the destruction of property, public health, and the displacement of entire communities due to the effects of climate change.
6. Corporate Liability for Environmental Damage
·??????????????????? Financial operators who invest or lend capital to fossil fuel projects could be held liable under civil liability laws if it is proven that their investments contributed to significant environmental damage.
·??????????????????? Strategy: File collective or individual lawsuits against these financial institutions, seeking compensation for damage caused to private property, ecosystems, and human life. This approach could include large coastal cities or agricultural sectors devastated by the effects of climate change.
7. Consumer Protection Law Claims
·??????????????????? Many banks and investment funds have clients who are unaware that their savings or investments are being used to finance fossil fuel projects. This could be considered a violation of consumer protection laws.
·??????????????????? Strategy: File lawsuits against banks for deceptive practices, arguing that they have not been transparent with customers about how their funds are being used.
8. Coordinated Global Action
·??????????????????? Since fossil fuel financing is a global problem, coordinating international lawsuits or using mechanisms like international arbitration could increase pressure. It is also possible to explore the creation of an international court specialized in environmental crimes and ecocide.
·??????????????????? Strategy: Mobilize an international coalition of NGOs, lawyers, and local governments to coordinate legal actions against the main financial actors involved in the oil and gas industry.
9. Intervention by International Organizations
·??????????????????? In addition to litigation, it is possible to seek the intervention of organizations like the World Bank or the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which are beginning to promote decarbonization.
·??????????????????? Strategy: Use the influence and power of these organizations to pressure financial institutions to divest from hydrocarbons and redirect their capital towards clean energy and sustainable projects.
These strategies can be used together as part of a comprehensive plan to attack financial operators responsible for perpetuating environmental damage and accelerating the climate crisis. The key will be to mobilize both affected citizens and legal institutions to ensure concrete action is taken against these actors.
Strategic Hacktivism and Global Mobilization to Demand Environmental Justice
The central idea behind this strategy is to combine hacktivism tactics with legal actions and global mobilization, with the goal of exposing and destabilizing the operations of financial actors who fund environmentally destructive projects, such as those linked to hydrocarbons. This would be done without resorting to direct theft but by creating a crisis of confidence and public pressure, which would, in turn, lead to legal and social sanctions.
1. Strategic Hacktivism: Exposing Compromising Information
Objective: Expose the direct involvement of banks and investment funds in projects that contribute to climate change, environmental destruction, and human rights violations by using leaked internal information.
Tactics:
·??????????????????? Selective hacks into internal databases: Hacktivist groups would focus on accessing confidential documents from banks and investment funds. These documents could include contracts, emails, and internal reports that evidence investments in fossil fuel projects, fracking, mining, and deforestation.
·??????????????????? Mass data dissemination: Once compromising information is obtained, it would be published on public access platforms (such as Wikileaks or transparency-specific sites) with detailed evidence of these institutions’ involvement in environmental destruction.
·??????????????????? Generate media pressure: The dissemination of this data would be accompanied by global media campaigns, working with influential outlets and journalists to expose the impacts of these projects on vulnerable communities, ecosystems, and the global climate crisis.
·??????????????????? Parallel legal action: Alongside the release of compromising information, collective lawsuits or legal actions can be initiated in countries where the banks and funds operate, using the obtained information as evidence. This could include claims of negligence, human rights violations, and environmental damage.
Expected Impact:
·??????????????????? Crisis of confidence: Public exposure of these institutions’ destructive practices generates a loss of trust among clients, shareholders, and other financial actors. This could lead to mass withdrawals of funds or investments.
·??????????????????? Damaged reputation: The affected institutions would face significant reputational damage, limiting their ability to operate and finance future projects.
·??????????????????? Halt future investments: By exposing their bad practices and linking the institutions to the environmental crisis, pressure is generated for them to reduce or stop financing destructive projects out of fear of further legal or social consequences.
·??????????????????? Disruption of capital flows: Interruptions in the systems of banks and investment funds create instability in the markets, especially if they affect large transactions or high-value investment funds.
·??????????????????? Loss of market confidence: Financial market actors become hesitant to invest in institutions perceived as vulnerable to cyberattacks, which could lead to a decline in stock value and the loss of clients.
·??????????????????? Internal pressure to change policies: The accumulation of interruptions and attacks could force financial institutions to reconsider their support for fossil fuel projects to avoid future attacks and damage.
2. Global Mobilization and Legal Actions
Objective: Complement hacktivism with a global mobilization campaign and legal actions demanding justice for communities affected by environmental contamination and climate change, using the legal principles discussed earlier.
Tactics:
·??????????????????? Create a common front of NGOs and legal actors: Form an international coalition of NGOs, lawyers, activists, and affected communities to coordinate global legal actions against banks and investment funds responsible for financing environmentally destructive projects.
·??????????????????? Collective lawsuits under the “Polluter Pays” Principle: Use the "polluter pays" principle and other legal frameworks (human rights, ecocide) to sue banks for their role in financing projects that cause irreparable damage to ecosystems and communities.
·??????????????????? Lobbying for international legal reform: Advocate for the recognition of ecocide as an international crime and pressure governments to adopt stricter laws against financial institutions supporting environmental destruction.
·??????????????????? Protests and public pressure: Organize large-scale protests not only at the headquarters of banks and investment funds but also in major global cities, generating a public awareness campaign that forces governments to act.
Expected Impact:
·??????????????????? Change in financial policies: Legal and social pressure can force banks and investment funds to reassess their role in financing fossil fuel projects and redirect their capital towards clean and sustainable energy.
·??????????????????? Legal repercussions for key actors: Bank executives and directors could face direct legal responsibility if the lawsuits succeed, limiting their operational capacity.
·??????????????????? Slowing the climate crisis: If fossil fuel project financing is slowed or reduced, it would have a direct impact on lowering emissions and advancing the energy transition.
Conclusion
This strategy of selective hacktivism, destabilization of operations, and global mobilization can place enormous pressure on banks and investment funds responsible for financing environmental destruction, without engaging in direct theft or piracy actions that could trigger severe legal consequences for activists or involved nations. By publicly exposing their actions, destabilizing their infrastructure, and mobilizing public opinion, the necessary pressure can be created to force a change in their policies and support a more sustainable future.
The current situation of global warming is, without a doubt, an unprecedented crisis that we have allowed to worsen for decades. The last 40 years have been a compelling proof that, despite the growing environmental awareness, the concrete facts point us in the opposite direction: we have increased the extraction and consumption of hydrocarbons, accelerating pollution and exacerbating the greenhouse effect.
The 2% increase in oil production in a single year is an example of the critical state in which we find ourselves, where dependence on fossil fuels remains predominant. The promises of "green technologies" and "energy transition" have not managed to stop or reverse environmental damage in real time. While the planet's key ecosystems are on the verge of collapse, long-term solutions are no longer sufficient. The thawing of permafrost, uncontrolled emissions of methane and carbon dioxide by the oceans, and the collapse of interconnected climate systems are imminent warnings that we can no longer ignore.
The reality is that climate tipping points between 2025 and 2030 will trigger a cascade of domino effects that will push us towards an uninhabitable future. Extreme warming will be the “hot hell”, transforming the planet into a furnace that will not only be hostile to human life, but to the survival of millions of species.
So what to do in the face of this scenario? The answer is to act, and act now. The Environmental Coalition, under the banner of the Green Army, is a call to direct action. It is not enough to observe and comment, it is time to mobilize and confront the forces that perpetuate environmental destruction. Those who do not join this fight, those who remain indifferent or inactive, are accomplices of the environmental terrorists who, with their actions and omissions, are leading our planet to collapse.
The responsibility falls on each one of us. There is no neutrality in this final battle for survival. You are either on the side of life, or on the side of destruction. The decisions we make today will determine whether our planet remains habitable or becomes a climate hell. The time for words has passed; action is now the only way forward.
It is your responsibility, our responsibility, to join this fight or bear the weight of complicity in the greatest crisis humanity has ever faced.
