Just in case you were wondering what the United Nations is up to today:
Could the UN be any less relevant?
More from Reuters:
'Greenhouse gas emissions are unequivocally caused by human activities which are not territorially limited,' judge Yuji Iwasawa said.
...
Although it is non-binding, the deliberation of the 15 judges of the ICJ in The Hague will nevertheless carry legal and political weight and future climate cases would be unable to ignore it, legal experts say.
'It is so important, it could be one of the most consequential legal rulings of our times because of the scope of the issues that it touches, which run to the very heart of climate justice,' said Joie Chowdhury, senior attorney at the Center for International Environmental Law.
There is no such thing as justice when you add adjectives like "climate" in front of it.
This is The Hague! It is supposed to be making sure that justice and human rights are being upheld among member states. Instead, its spending its time navel gazing with platitudes about the sun monster that's going to definitely kill us all in just a few years if we don't spend a gazillion dollars to reduce emissions ("emissions" means you, by the way).
A few comments for the Court of "Justice":
Did you know that the growth of AI data centers uses so much energy that its needs are projected to surpass 10% of the capacity of the United States' energy grid by 2030?
And yet the same globalists telling me to stop driving a minivan are flying their private jets from their beachfront mansions to open a new data center every five minutes. The same people who don't want nuclear power are telling me that my family should starve and freeze in the dark to save the planet. The same people who say Americans and Europeans need to pollute less have no suggestions for India or China, even though 93% of all trash that ends up in our oceans is contributed by 10 rivers in Africa and Asia, with China's Yangtze River being the worst.
'The court can affirm that climate inaction, especially by major emitters, is not merely a policy failure but a breach of international law,' said Fijian Vishal Prasad, one of the law students that lobbied the government of Vanuatu in the South Pacific Ocean to bring the case to the ICJ.
I'm sure China will listen this time, right?
Stay clownish, UN!
