Climate Activism In Judicial Drag

Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach
If you’d asked me last week to imagine the world’s “highest court” declaring climate science settled by judicial fiat, and then threatening the globe with reparations if governments don’t color inside the climate lines, I’d have poured myself a stiff gin-and-tonic and double-checked the URL.
But alas, welcome to 2025, where the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has just handed down an “advisory opinion” so ambitious, sanctimonious, and scientifically shallow that it reads less like a court ruling and more like the script for a very, very earnest United Nations bake sale. Their own summary of their latest lunacy is here.
Let’s set the table. The ICJ was asked by true-green climate activists to weigh in on whether countries that—brace yourself—aren’t “protecting the climate”, whatever that might mean, are guilty of internationally wrongful conduct.
Not just frowned upon. Not just eligible for a stern talking-to.
Nope: guilty. Legally at fault. Reparations, anyone?
