The European Court of Human Rights could rule that governments have to protect people from climate change. The Telegraph has more.
Judges from the court will decide next week whether people’s human rights have been breached by the failure of governments to protect them from the harmful effects of climate change.
If they rule in favour of three cases claiming their rights have been breached, it would mean that individuals could seek redress with the Strasbourg court and compensation if their governments failed to take sufficient measures to prevent their citizens suffering the consequences of climate change.
The cases have prompted a backlash from the U.K. Government whose lawyer Sudhanshu Swaroop KC told the court in one of the cases that it was effectively turning the court into a legislator.
He said the complainants were “asking the court to act as legislators rather than judges and to legislate for a global challenge without having global jurisdiction”.
Sarah Dines, the former Home Office Minister who has called for the U.K. to leave the Strasbourg court, described it as a “yet another attempted ideological power grab on the part of a self-selecting and self-serving elite out of touch with reality”.
The legal challenge is based on the claim that failure to tackle climate change sufficiently to protect the public amounts to a breach of article 2, the right to life, and article 8, the right to a family life.

Is equity what they want? I thought it was the elimination of melanin-deficient skin in toto. And Y chromosomes that belong to people that identify as male.
I thought they were there to learn about data science not nobs and knockers!
I do despair really. Trying to redpill young* intelligent people is such hard work – they just want to get on with their lives and pretend all this mad, evil stuff isn’t going on because it’s too horrible to contemplate. They just hope it will all go away of its own accord. But it won’t.
*I have limited energy and the young are the future.
And what about when the fighting starts?
Indeed. I kind of thought that “covid” would have woken more people up than it did as it was so obviously a complete scam, but it’s been memory-holed.
This did make me laugh!
This is the Met police aiming to meet their DEI quota back in the 1930s. I have a feeling the definition of ”hefty” ( not to mention, ”fairly good looking”, LOL ) has changed somewhat since those days. Doubt there were many ‘Lesbian Nanas’ floating about either…

Priceless
I just told the wife about having to be hefty, I just mentioned she could have joined!
I’m still mopping my blood off the ceiling
My grandmother was a teacher in the 1920s and when she and my grandfather married she had to give up work – maybe that was the law then, it was certainly the rule in the teaching profession.
Diversity is the 21st century word for discrimination.
Substitute diversity for discrimination and the meaning of the sentence immediately.
No doubt they will all be white male scientists. ——–The destruction of the west continues via the 5 main agendas —-Equality Diversity Race Gender and Climate.
It no longer matters as one of the males could wear a dress, buy some Tampax and claim to be a woman to ‘even’ up the statistics.
funny but true
“Four new scientists, including experts from UCL and Imperial College London, were hired to help lead those efforts.”
UCL and Imperial. These four new blokes are bloody plants for Billy’s mob.
That is the story in a nutshell.
Give qualifications to an AI machine and let it decide. May the best scientist win.
Were the men the best candidates for the job? If they were, then what’s the problem.
All these DIE targets are destroying Britain socially and economically. Cut it out and grow up.
