People Who Have Committed Futurocide
Climate change will kill at least 5,000,000 people by 2050. The following people are responsible for many of those deaths:
| People | Organization | Cause |
|---|---|---|
| CEO: Amin H. Nasser Board of Directors: Mohammed I. Al-Suwaiyel, Ibrahim A. Al-Assaf, Khalid A. Al-Falih, Khaled S. Al-Sultan, Andrew F.J. Gould, Majid Al-Moneef, Mark Moody-Stuart, Peter Woicke |

What is Futurocide?
Futurocide is knowingly committing acts that cause deaths in the future, a speculative law the realization of which may only be a matter of time. As of 2023 there are legal actions concerning ecocide, constitutional rights to protect the environment for future generations, and seeking compensation for future damage to people, property, and natural resources.

The Proof
- We know from attribution science that climate change is the cause of increased temperatures.
- Fossil fuels are the largest cause of climate change, accounting for nearly 90 per cent of all carbon dioxide emissions.
- The fossil fuel industry has known about the potential relationship between the causes of climate change and the outcomes as early as 1968 and as well as a clear scientific link as early as 2011.
- The fossil fuel industry continues to invest heavily in fossil fuel production.
- The fossil fuel companies listed above are the largest contributors of greenhouse gas emissions for the period 1988–2015
- The individuals listed above are the chief executives and boards of directors who were accountable for the actions of those organizations for the period 1988–2015.
Who Has Already Died?
A study published in the journal Nature Medicine estimates that over 61,000 people have died from the heat in Europe in 2022. In 2021 in the United States alone, 1,600 people died from heat. One of those people was Sebastian Perez, who died in the Pacific Northwest in 2021, one of 108 people who died in a heat wave that World Weather Attribution determined was "virtually impossible without human-caused climate change."

Deaths in the Future
The World Health Organization estimates that 250,000 people will die each year between 2030 and 2050. Regarding air temperature they report:
Health impacts of heat waves include exhaustion, cramps, syncope, strokes, kidney disorders, psychiatric illness, chronic pulmonary illness, diabetes, diarrhoea and cerebrovascular accidents. Heat waves are also related to vector-borne diseases, as well as diarrhoea induced by temperature increase.
On vector-borne diseases:
Climate change is expected to modify the geographical range of the habitat of animal vectors of diseases, especially in Asia, Africa and South America. For example, malaria is one of the most concerning climate-sensitive vector-borne diseases since a shift in the hospitable geographical range of the Anopheles mosquito could put more people at risk. This is also true for other illnesses transmitted by mosquitoes, such as yellow fever, dengue fever, chikungunya, and the Zika virus.
In sum:
It is expected that, as global warming continues, there will be an increase in the frequency and severity of heat waves. By 2100, extreme heat waves could kill as many people as all infectious diseases combined.
