UN Court’s Sweeping Climate Ruling Set To Trigger New Wave Of Lawsuits
The International Court of Justice decision hands a win to activists, poorer nations, and trial lawyers.
by Bjorn Lomborg  August 22, 2025, 1:08 PM 

Protesting fossil fuels
Last month, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued a sweeping ruling on the legal duties of states to respond to climate change, demanding “deep, rapid and sustained reductions” in emissions and opening the door to lawsuits for climate reparations. [emphasis, links added]


The ruling is a landmark moment in international law that deserves more attention than it has gotten: In essence, the United Nations’ highest court has deemed climate inaction a human rights violation and an infringement of international law.

The judgment is sure to cause significant economic harm, with far-reaching consequences for human well-being.

It sounds like they came to the decision after giving themselves a RAM (Reverse Anal Manifestation).  In other words, had their heads up their *sses. :judge:

It is well past time to kick the UN the hell out of the USA!!! 

They wage war on our freedom and liberty and should not be allowed to enjoy freedoms and liberties that they intend to deny to others.

Not possible for poorer nations to benefit from this.

They need fossil fuels worse than anyone else as they are cheap and plentiful.

This will only deprive them of having energy to help lift them from poverty.
