Verdict saying Switzerland violated rights by failing on climate action

AP News climate change court ruling article.
quote:
Europe’s highest human rights court ruled Tuesday that countries must better protect their people from the consequences of climate change, siding with a group of older Swiss women against their government in a landmark ruling that could have implications across the continent.
The European Court of Human Rights rejected two other, similar cases on procedural grounds — a high-profile one brought by Portuguese young people and another by a French mayor that sought to force governments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
quote:
Although activists have had success with lawsuits in domestic proceedings, this was the first time an international court ruled on climate change — and the first decision confirming that countries have an obligation to protect people from its effects, according to Heri.
quote:
She said it would open the door to more legal challenges in the countries that are members of the Council of Europe, which includes the 27 EU nations as well as many others from Britain to Turkey.
quote:
The court — which is unrelated to the European Union — ruled that Switzerland “had failed to comply with its duties” to combat climate change and meet emissions targets.
That, the court said, was a violation of the women’s rights, noting that the European Convention on Human Rights guarantees people “effective protection by the state authorities from the serious adverse effects of climate change on their lives, health, well-being and quality of life.”
quote:
Activists have argued that many governments have not grasped the gravity of the climate change — and are increasingly looking to the courts to force them to do more to ensure global warming is held to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels, in line with the goals of the Paris climate agreement.

More stupidity.
We need a global economic depression so that people can return to reality.

This sets such a stupid precedent. Daddy gov is not doing enough to prevent cow farts. Meanwhile they’re not investigating Turkey for its obvious election interference or crimes against humanity against the Kurds.

That would only make more people dependent on the govt and allow the globalist marxist cabal trash to increase their power.

So are they going to penalize Switzerland since they “had failed to comply with its duties” to combat climate change and meet emissions targets. Will this court start imposing penalties via taxes to make up for their egregious actions and who will collect the taxes?
How long before countries will just wave goodbye to the EU?

The root of all evil it seems is white women and their guilt.

How much of the evil hydrocarbons did those old twats use in the time leading up to their lawsuit?

Been nice having you as the top dog, Switzerland. The EU now has its sights set on you.
Posted on 4/11/24 at 11:22 am to Oilfieldbiology
They made their ruling now let them enforce it
Posted on 4/11/24 at 11:29 am to Oilfieldbiology
Wait...can I sue some random countries and blame them for whatever made up bullshite I say they caused?
And win?
And win?

From Wikipedia:
So basically it’s like a strongly worded letter and means absolutely nothing.

The court lacks enforcement powers. Some states have ignored ECtHR verdicts and continued practices judged to be human rights violations.

Climate change would be greatly assisted, if we could do away with the rampant bullshite created like this. the amount of Methane generated from the unprecedented levels of bullshite like this, it is killing the planet!
