Sweden’s Supreme Court Rejects Greta Thunberg’s Lawsuit Over Climate Inaction
by Reuters  Feb 21, 2025 
 
Sweden’s Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday that Greta Thunberg and hundreds of other young activists can not sue the state in a Swedish court over what they say is insufficient action against climate change. [emphasis, links added]


Activists filed a class action lawsuit in 2022 with a district court claiming the state violates their rights as laid out in the European Convention on Human Rights by not doing enough to limit climate change nor to mitigate its effects.

The district court in 2023 asked the Supreme Court to clarify whether a lawsuit of this kind could effectively be tried in a Swedish court after the state requested the case be dismissed.

“A court cannot decide that the Riksdag or the government must take any specific action. The political bodies decide independently on which specific climate measures Sweden should take,” the Supreme Court said in a statement on Wednesday.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Glad the little wench is finally getting the message about her little scam.  Even the most left of nations is calling her out on it.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.
