UN's top court says healthy environment is a human right in historic climate ruling
A "clean, healthy and sustainable environment" is a human right and, if countries fail to take "appropriate action to protect the climate system", they could be in violation of international law, according to the UN's top court.
Judges at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) have just delivered a long-awaited advisory opinion on nations' climate obligations and the consequences they face if they don't fulfil them...
Wait for it...
Wait for it...
It also said that countries harmed by climate change could also be entitled to reparations, but what they are owed must be decided on a case-by-case basis.
They never disappoint do they?

Spot the loonie!
It's just another instance of the reparations scam - small countries holding out their hands for money from big countries.
I don't believe for a moment that China will stop building coal fired power stations.
It's not like we can just move to another country for a better life. The whole world has gone bonkers
Jannie - I can't there are too many.
DJ - and China hasn't joined this particular circus.
Bucko - I agree, it's not easy unless you are seriously rich.
Since there is no such thing as a "human right" they can say what they please. Just tell 'em to run along.
dearieme - it's odd how much weight people are prepared to put on phrases such as "human right."
