The one problem will be that, at least at the lower levels, the US still has a mostly functioning judiciary so they'll have to either set up some parallel system to sentence people, e.g. the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the USA, or set up a special judiciary to do it, e.g. the People's Court (Volksgerichtshof).

So, it'll just be a continuation of the same insane talking points as today - "Weather has always changed" or "There have always been hurricanes/droughts/floods" while ignoring or denying or not understanding increasing frequency or intensity.

Also a lot of nonsense that because someone somewhere was still polluting (china, billionaires, whoever) that there was no benefit in decreasing pollution where we could, as if the problem was a binary where the only options were "zero pollution" and "unlimited pollution".
