On June 28, 2021, a 65-year-old woman, Juliana Leon, was murdered while driving home to Ferndale, Washington from her doctor’s appointment in Seattle. It was a hot day, over 100 °F, and she had pulled her non-air-conditioned car to the side of the highway and rolled her car’s windows down when the murderer struck.
Now her daughter is seeking justice, not in the criminal courts, which have failed to act, but in a wrongful death suit in a Washington State civil court.
According to David Gelles in the New York Times [ here ], Misti Leon, the daughter, told him in an interview:
“I never would have in a million years guessed that a heat dome and climate change would be what killed my mother and what took her from me. There’s no way to comprehend that and to kind of even rationalize it.”
But, now that Misti knows that climate change murdered her mother, she has filed a wrongful death suit against … The Climate? Climate Change Inc.? The Weather?
No, she has filed the suit against “Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Shell, BP, ConocoPhillips, Phillips 66 and Olympic Pipeline Company ( a subsidiary managed by BP).”
