So stunning and brave!

From the AP:

The United Nations’ top court has issued a landmark advisory opinion on climate change, its 15 black-robed judges weighing in for the first time on what the court’s president called “an existential problem of planetary proportions that imperils all forms of life and the very health of our planet.”

The International Court of Justice’s unanimous non-binding opinion, which runs to over 500 pages, was immediately hailed by activists as a turning point in international climate law. …

A failure to address climate change, the court said, could be a violation of international law.

That matters because it applies to all countries and paves the way for legal actions, including states returning to the ICJ to hold each other to account; domestic lawsuits; and investment agreements that have to conform to international law.

Meaning, despite its advisory status, this international court ruling the global elites will somehow use this ruling in future litigation to force countries to enact climate-change legislation or judges in other nations (like the US) will look to the UN court’s opinion as justification for their rulings.

It won’t matter if a nation isn’t a member of the International Court of Justice since environmentalist lobbying and legal groups will undoubtedly seek for the US and European countries will be held to the standards in this decision, especially if judges cite the ICJ’s decision or if it is used as a justification for an environmentalist group’s lawsuit.

Another kind of judicial coup. Very troubling.
