Climate Lawfare: A Well-Funded Trojan Horse For Upending Democracies
by Tilak Doshi 2 hours ago
In an astonishing verdict, Europe’s highest human rights court ruled on April 9 that countries must better protect their citizens from “the consequences of climate change.” [emphasis, links added]
In the landmark ruling, setting a legal precedent across 46 member states of the Council of Europe, the court sided with a group of women called KlimaSeniorinnen or “Senior Women for Climate Protection.”
The elderly Swiss ladies claimed that their lives were endangered by heat waves caused by “climate change.”
In the court’s judgment, there is no uncertainty that heat waves are induced — as “scientific knowledge” supposedly makes clear — by fossil fuel use in modern industrial civilization.

There is not one government policy that’s going to do anything about the climate… None, zero zilch
Climate change and changes that accompany it has been part of the Earth since there’s been an earth.
Climate change doesn’t scare me. It’s misguided government policy that impoverishes people without any tangible measurements of success, scares me

Those old bats can go for swim in Lake Geneva if they're too hot.
