“Climate policy experts have maintained that a crucial way to make net zero targets more credible”
When do we get to net zer0 “Climate Policy Experts”?
“A government that is evidently in breach of its own laws can be taken to court.”
Not in the US if one is not Deep State adjacent.
“Scotland’s move raises questions about the credibility of national (or in this case subnational) carbon targets and the usefulness of putting them into law.”
Yet none of these idiots ask the most important and most fundamental question of all: “Do we really need to stop using fossil fuels? And why?”
Only the developed Western word is engaging in this nonsense.
Did the laddies finally figure out it gets a wee bit cold in Scotland in the winter?
“[legally binding carbon targets] matter, but the key to climate protection is a genuine commitment to implementation.”
No, legally binding carbon targets are the key to destroying your nation, wiping out entire industries, and impoverishing everybody who isn’t a politician.
It’s Insane to put Climate into Laws ,LOL
At the rate so many countries including ours are printing money a long global recession can’t be far off, maybe even a depression 30’s style. It will take something like this to put an end to this hoax anyway.
You can’t legally bind a country. You can shame it. You can penalize it. You can blockade it. You can go to war with it, but there is no court that actually has binding jurisdiction over a country, that can make its courts and government comply.
So...the politicians that passed this law...and then failed to achieve the required results...will go to jail for breaking the law? I can go for that.
