The Warmists cannot get their agenda truly passed in lawmaking bodies, even in a lot of states, and nations, run by hardcore leftists, so, attempt to sue and have courts create law. Even though most of these Warmists do not practice what they preach
Climate change lawsuits more than double in 5 years as impacts hit home
The number of court cases related to climate change has more than doubled in five years as impacts ranging from shrinking water resources to dangerous heatwaves hit home for millions, a report said on Thursday.
Some 2,180 climate-related lawsuits have been filed across 65 jurisdictions over the past five years, according to the report by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and New York’s Columbia University, which tracks ongoing climate cases in a global database.
As of 2017, there were just 884 cases documented in 24 jurisdictions, the report said.
“We’re seeing a huge increase in the number of cases,” said Maria Antonia Tigre, a senior fellow in global climate litigation at Columbia’s Sabin Center, who said the number of cases filed per year has doubled in the past five years.
While the United States still dominates with more than 1,500 cases, other countries are seeing increases. About 17 percent of cases have been filed in developing countries, according to the report, with rainforest-rich Brazil and Indonesia among the countries seeing the most.
Sadly, I never read about the opposing lawyers, or the judges, asking if the plaintiffs have done things like giving up their own use of fossil fuels.
