Who will enforce?
The greedy world doesn’t give a shit, and will not listen, not until billions die from extreme heat and there is no water to drink, even then I bet the world won’t give a shit.

Johan Rockström’s work is one of the reasons I’m a doomer also.
Not merely because we’re surpassing those planetary boundaries,
which is horrific on its own.
But also because World Leaders don’t CARE about planetary boundaries.
At all.
It isn’t on their list of concerns.

Countries must protect human right to a stable climate, court rules, Costa Rica-based inter-American court of human rights says states have obligation to respond to climate change by Isabella Kaminski, 3 Jul 2025, The Guardian
There is a human right to a stable climate and states have a duty to protect it, a top court has ruled.
Announcing the publication of a crucial advisory opinion on climate change on Thursday, Nancy Hernández López, president of the inter-American court of human rights (IACHR), said climate change carries “extraordinary risks” that are felt particularly keenly by people who are already vulnerable.
In the strongly worded and wide-ranging 300-page document setting out its perspective on the climate emergency and human rights, the court says states have legal obligations to protect people alive today and future generations from the impacts of climate breakdown. That includes taking “urgent and effective” actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions based on the best available science, to adapt, to cooperate internationally, and to guard against the threat of climate disinformation.But not to demand the only thing now, that will mitigate the massive endless hideous harms to climate and earth by humans: NO MORE HUMAN BABIES; banning/criminalizing the bible because of it pimping procreation and more evilly, it’s use (religious and non religious) to justify raping kids and women and not allowing abortion if rapes cause pregnancy; ban religions and provide free contraceptives, family planning and abortion, of choice, for all in the world, everywhere – rich or poor
The inquiry was instigated by Colombia and Chile, which in 2023 asked what legal responsibilities states have to tackle climate change and to stop them breaching people’s human rights.
The Costa Rica-based court received hundreds of submissions and held a series of hearings last year in Barbados and the Brazilian cities of Brasília and Manaus.
A wide variety of states and regional bodies, academics and civil society groups – as well as individual victims of climate breakdown themselves – were allowed to participate.
“The evidence we have seen and received during the hearing and written submissions shows that there is no margin for indifference,” López said.
“Success depends on all of us.”But, the rich and corrupt who do most of the polluting and raping, refuse to participate other than tell lies to delay any responsible action while raping out more and more profits.
The IACHR’s founding purpose is to interpret and apply the American convention on human rights, a treaty ratified by members of the Organization of American States (OAS). But its newly published opinion takes into account a broad range of national, regional and international laws and principles. And it affirms that the findings not just apply only to signatories of the convention but to all 35 members of the OAS, which includes the US and Canada.
The court affirmed the right to a healthy environment, and said for the first time that this includes the right to a stable climate.
This means states have legal obligations to regulate emissions from public and private organisations.
The court says all businesses have a responsibility not to harm human rightswhile hundreds of companies and endless rich fuckers like Steve Harper, Netanyahu et al happily participate and or enable genocide to profit rape, and pollute horrifically. If the world can’t stop Israel’s decades of crimes against humanity and now the worst and most documented genocide in modern history, with racist media, lawyers, judges, NGOs, academia wildly participating in lying about said crimes and genocide, and helping cover them up to keep the mass murdering horrors going strong, how they hell will any agency or authority reign in fossil fuel polluters, war polluters, and tech billionaires? but those that have emitted huge volumes of greenhouse gas emissions in the past or present have a particular responsibility “due to the risk created by their activities”.
It singles out the exploration, extraction, transportation and processing of fossil fuels, cement manufacturing and agro-industry.
States must set tougher requirements for such sectors, it says, suggesting changes to business operating conditions, taxation, contributions to just transition plans and strategies, investment in education, adaptation measures and addressing loss and damage. If companies do not comply, it suggests the polluting activities should stop and states consider demanding compensation for the harm caused to the climate.It’ll never happen. Polluters, the corrupt politicians they put into power and then the judges those corruptos appoint to benches around the world, will nearly always let the rich and fossil fuel polluters go free, while blaming the harmed for causing the harms. And because humans are too greedy and selfish, and the rich even more greedy and selfish. People refuse to stop travelling or firing off dangerous extremely toxic fireworks, purely for selfish, “we deserve it” reasons, why the hell would they sacrifice anything to try to mitigate human pollution, or, want their politicians to do anything responsible that might restrict they fun lives doing as they please?
It adds that states should pass laws so that transnational corporations and conglomerates can be fully held to account for the emissions of their subsidiaries.Won’t happen. Look at the filth for politicians and judges currently letting Nazis and their rich polluter pals break every law there is, and publicly brag about it. Trump ought to be in prison, but the filthy raping rich fuckers in USA needed him to make them richer, so they bought off the courts and more. How many millions or hundreds of millions of humans will the Trump Nazis murder as they rape and pillage what’s left in America? Netanyahu ought to have been put in prison years ago, there is warrant out for his arrest, counties flagrantly ignore it, including Nazi USA and on and on and on.
States also have a duty to ensure a fair transition to a cleaner society, and must ensure that this does not in itself involve breaching human rights, for example, when mining for critical minerals needed for electric vehicles.
as tragic as the decimation of earth and how polluted everything is and likely will continue getting more toxic and more polluted (I’ve suffered horridly living poisoned and frac’d for over 20 years, only to find out I will be frac’d more, this time for sour crude by a criminal piece of shit scheister the AER lets dump on the public what ever might not be making him enough money while keeping the rich stuff), this statement made me laugh out loud, because in my view, states work their asses off to ensure human and environmental rights are violated. Just look to the vile shit Danielle Smith (wanting to let tarshit polluters inject their deadly waste underground instead of cleaning it up which costs money; high pressure waste injections never stay put and create damaging earth quakes and contamination of drinking water aquifers, but the regulator AER, and the corrupt politicians are only interested in helping companies break the law), Doug Ford, BC’s Eby, Scott Moe, Mark Carney and their thugs are laying on to help polluters pollute much more and violate more and more human rights, and wipe out species (including killing cougar mothers with young not yet grown up enough to fend for themselves) to their greed’s desires.
“This is not just about the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy,” said Marcella Ribeiro, a senior human rights and environment attorney for the Asociación Interamericana para la Defensa del Ambiente (Aida), an environmental law organisation that works in Latin America. “This is an opportunity for a structural transformation that will correct historical inequality and protect people and ecosystems.”While billionaire tech bros and their creepy stupid stolen AI are conning politicians like Nazi Carney to take workers’ jobs, replace them with bots which will ensure only polluters rights and bank accounts are protected and make the tech bros more money while destroying grids and water.
The IACHR also recognised the rights of nature and states have a duty to restore damage to ecosystems caused by climate change.
Luisa Gómez, senior attorney for the Center for International Environmental Law, said the court made a “critical connection” between the effects of the climate crisis on the rights of people and ecosystems, and how those responsible for guaranteeing those rights should react. “It sends a clear message that impunity in climate matters can no longer be tolerated.”Ya they can’t be – human life on earth is quickly coming to a tortured end, but the rich will make sure their raping continues unimpeded, with less regulations than ever. Nazis have taken over much of the world, and most people are delighted by it, I believe because humans are fascist by nature. The only way the earth heals, is when there are no more humans.
The inter-American court of human rights is the second of four top courts to publish an advisory opinion on climate change.
The first court to publish its opinion, the international tribunal for the law of the sea, concluded last year that greenhouse gases are pollutants that are wrecking the marine environment, and states have a legal responsibility to control them.
The international court of justice held hearings on its own opinion last December and is expected to publish in the coming months. Meanwhile, the African court on human and people’s rights has only just begun the process.
These documents are technically nonbinding but are considered authoritative because they summarise existing law. And they are expected to be used in future litigation and political negotiations.
Viviana Krsticevic, executive director of the Centre for Justice and International Law, a human rights NGO which supported Colombia and Chile’s request for the advisory opinion, said the new opinion gives a “very rich roadmap” for responding to the climate emergency across society, including setting a series of standards for national climate strategies that could be very important for the forthcoming Cop30 in Brazil.Cops are synergy events where industry meets and greets and gets more doors opened for more raping and money grubbing. Totally useless for protecting anything but polluters’ right to keep polluting and the rich that get ever richer raping earth, families, communities, and never giving a damn. Buying and silencing their way out of their endless poisonings and devastations with Settle ‘n Gags.
