Hey, look, it’s a rare win for the Cult of Climastrology, which loses in court way more than they win. Of course, this will be a loss for the people of Germany, including the “kids” who initiated the lawsuit, as their cost of living increases, consumer goods go up in price or are banned as Bad for ‘climate change’, and government slaps more and more restrictions and controls on everything, including the citizens
Germany must tighten climate law to protect young people’s future, court rules
Germany must update its climate law by the end of next year to set out how it will bring carbon emissions down nearly to zero by 2050, its top court ruled on Thursday, siding with a young woman who argued rising sea levels would engulf her family farm.
The court concluded that a law passed in 2019 had failed to make sufficient provision for cuts beyond 2030, casting a shadow over a signature achievement of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s final term in office.
“The challenged provisions do violate the freedoms of the complainants, some of whom are still very young,†the court said in a statement. “The provisions irreversibly offload major emission reduction burdens onto periods after 2030.â€
Among the plaintiffs was Sophie Backsen here, 22, daughter of a farming family on the North Sea island of Pellworm, who fears that rising sea levels would engulf her low-lying island, leaving her with no inheritance.
“We are super happy with the court’s decision,†she told a news conference. “Effective climate protection has to be implemented now and not in 10 years’ time, when it’ll be too late.â€
Warnemunde at .41 feet per one hundred years. Wismar at .47 feet. Travemunde at .54 feet. Cuxhaven 2 at .69 feet. All four are very long term stations, and show sea rise well below what would be expected during a Holocene warm period. And the countries to the sides of them are the same.
Anyhow, what this means is that Germany must implement even stronger climate crisis (scam) provisions and put them in effect before 2030, because it violates the freedoms of the little Warmists, who will soon be wondering where all their freedoms went to in order to solve Hotcoldwetdry.
The ruling was stark in the obligations it imposed on the government, said Roda Verheyen, a lawyer for the plaintiffs.
“The court focuses on the civil liberties of future generations, saying those rights are being infringed already today,†she said. “This isn’t vague, but a very clear decision about fundamental rights.â€
Have fun, kiddies. Don’t complain when your freedoms, choice, and liberty are reduced, and your taxes and cost of living rise. This is what you wanted. What you asked for.
(DW) “The challenged provisions do violate the freedoms of the complainants, some of whom are still very young,” the court said in a statement.
“Virtually every freedom is potentially affected by these future emission reduction obligations because almost all areas of human life are still associated with the emission of greenhouse gases and are thus threatened by drastic restrictions after 2030,” the statement said.
When does the court give up it’s own use of fossil fuels and go carbon neutral? Anyhow, again, have fun kiddies. No complaining.
