Countries need to go beyond their commitments under the Paris Agreement to protect the oceans from the impact of greenhouse gas emissions, a United Nations tribunal on maritime law said on Tuesday.

A coalition of small island nations behind the case hailed the long-awaited legal opinion issued by the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) as a “historic” victory.

The court found that greenhouse gas emissions absorbed by oceans can be considered pollutants and states must do whatever they can to reduce them.

The opinion is not legally binding but supporters of the case hope it can help influence climate negotiations and be used as a precedent in future court cases.

For the most part, forecasters can't be really sure of their forecasts one week out, let alone 10 years.

Nonstop Rain In 2034, Say Weather Attribution Models

These weather attribution scamsters are now just making it up as they go along:
 

It’s November 2034 and it has been raining for a week straight. The downpours are heavier than Britain has ever known, and a supercell storm is tearing up the southwest. The river banks have flooded across the Pennines again and the River Thames is seeping onto the pavements and into homes across the capital. The following month, there is no respite from the storms. The heavy, monsoon-like rain continues.

This is the future of UK weather, according to a new study by the World Weather Attribution group. Every five years, the UK will experience extreme rainfall that is 20 per cent wetter than we are used to. One scientist in the study, Dr Mark McCarthy, called these future downpours “neve-rending”.

Bill McGuire, a professor of Geophysical and Climate Hazards at University College London (UCL) and author of Hothouse Earth: An Inhabitant’s Guide, believes that persistent heavy rains will be “the signature precipitation of the winter” of the future.

Prof McGuire said: “In particular, there will be an increase in so-called ‘atmospheric river’ conditions, whereby heavy rain will continue non-stop for days over the same areas.”

All I can see from this is some error or "oversight" and we have the next pandemic provided by governments of the world - again.

Germany’s Green Movement Has ‘Run Amok At The Expense Of People And Nature’

Wind energy is an environmental destruction machine, warns veteran center-left columnist. [emphasis, links added]

After the collapse of the Soviet Union and its communist block satellite countries in 1989, the West stood in awe, amazed by the environmental and economic wasteland left behind by the inefficient collective socialist system.


But since then, green radicals have taken over and it’s safe to say that the next generation, in about 2060, will also stand in amazement before a similar mass wreckage left behind by the “Green New Deal.”

The future generation will be asking: “What the hell were they thinking?”
