Torturing Law And Reason To Rid The Planet Of Climate Deniers
The climate movement has discovered criminal law as a tool for conducting climate politics.
To complement civil lawsuits against states and corporations, the movement’s activists intend to invoke torture and a newly proposed crime of “ecocide” to target corporate executives, politicians, and others who stand in the way of their preferred policies.
In pushing their agenda, these activists receive assistance from the judiciary—specifically, the European Court of Human Rights (pictured).
The use of criminal law to pursue climate politics is a further step in the radicalization of the climate movement and poses a threat to economic and political freedoms, the rule of law, and democracy.
If the movement is able to realize its plans, all those who do not support ambitious climate policies would have to fear prosecution and imprisonment.
