    We always had another word for it though: sucker punch. Also, where are the stats on it having a measurable impact? It was widely seen as a pretty lacklustre thing at the time. I’d argue the real impact was the massive increase is sentencing guidelines for king hits/coward punches that turned them into murder charges if they died from the hit.

    In the same vein, we should be charging companies that are causing this impact to the climate. I’d say there’d be real change then.

          That would be entirely unreasonable, because the ideal is not zero carbon output, it’s reducing carbon output to a sustainable level.
