Apparently, they missed all the people rioting in the streets over the French government jacking up their cost of living
More than 1.6M sign petition to sue France over climate
More than 1.6 million people have signed an online petition to take the French state to court for not doing enough to fight climate change.
Greenpeace, Oxfam and two French environmental groups launched the petition last week. Their signature drive received exceptional support in just a few days, including from film stars Marion Cotillard and Juliette Binoche.
Greenpeace France director Jean-Francois Julliard said on France’s BFM television Monday that the groups hope for an eventual court ruling requiring France to further lower carbon emissions.
Julliard says the legal effort could take years, but cited a similar, successful effort in the Netherlands.
When President Emmanuel Macron tried to raise fuel taxes to help wean France from fossil fuels, it sparked a nationwide movement last month. Macron scrapped the tax hike.
All these people either think that Other People will be affected by Doing Something, or they are rich people who aren’t negatively affected by a large increase in the cost of living. Nor do these people tend to give up their own big carbon footprints.
But, this is what’s going on: Warmists attempting to use the courts to force governments and companies, and by extension, Other People, to comply with their rigid cultish beliefs.
