Yes, it’s another case of kids suing over Hotcoldwetdry, and, by kids, we all know that they have been put up to this by adults with an agenda
(CNN) A group of Portuguese children whose district was ravaged by deadly forest fires this summer is to sue 47 European nations, accusing them of failing to take action on climate change.
The seven youngsters, aged eight to 18, are taking on the member states of the Council of Europe, who together produce at least 14% of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency. (snip)
The children will ask the European Court of Human Rights to tell the nations to enforce stronger emission-cutting policies, and to stop mining fossil fuel reserves.
Lead counsel Marc Willers QC, from London’s Garden Court Chambers, says the legal action is a landmark case. If successful, it would set a historic precedent and be binding across Europe.
If only the European nations (the 47 refers to the Council Of Europe members) had done something before
(Common Dreams) The nations named in the lawsuit are responsible for about 15 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. While they are all signers of the Paris climate agreement and as such have committed to cut their emissions in order to prevent the global temperature from rising more than two degrees Celsius, the children argue that they’re not doing enough.
Interesting. We were told that the Paris agreement was historic and stuff, and would Solve Everything. No?
Anyhow, back to this whopper by CNN
Earlier this year, US President Donald Trump announced plans to pull out of the Paris agreement— signed by his predecessor, Barack Obama — in 2020, unless there are significant changes to it.
In response, 21 children brought a lawsuit against the Trump administration, alleging inaction on climate change violated their constitutional rights.
And this is why the media is so distrusted and called biased, especially CNN: the suit was brought while Obama was still in office and against Obama and his administration. The above wasn’t even spin: it’s a bald faced lie.
