Vanuatu Prime Minister Ishmael Kalsakau called it “a win for climate justice of epic proportions.” […]
The resolution calls on the ICJ to lay out nations’ obligations for protecting Earth’s climate, and the legal consequences they face if they don’t.
The court’s opinion would be non-binding, but Vanuatu and supporters hope the forthcoming opinion, expected in about two years, will encourage governments to accelerate their climate action. […]
The new resolution would pave the way for “bolder and stronger climate action that our world so desperately needs,” said UN Secretary-General António Guterres. …

Latest came out today that Germany has said the push for EV only cars by 2035 is unrealistic.
Probably Porsche, VW and MB told them to change their mind fast.
BLUE Hats over me, or any American. Not; No Never!
US out of the UN
UN out of the US
That would at least stop the child molesters, rapists and others from using their diplomatic immunity to get off.
And would eject some of the spies and saboteurs. The sewers of the world overflow and the result are at the UN.
Gee the UN did such a great job stopping Iran and North Korea from having nukes and from having Russia and Ukraine go to war maybe I shouldn’t wish them harm./S

WTF?!
Glad we never signed onto that court.
This technogobbledygook is for nothing more than mindless oppression with rules that aren’t rational for fairy fart solutions that will NEVER work.
China is exempt of course because they are already communist. The other countries will become exempt once they enslave their populations accordingly.
The UN have minimal if any idea what justice truly is. It’s a dishonorable body characterized by graft, resentment, and political agenda.
Criminals trying to give their extortion a flimsy veneer of legality.
UN money laundering scheme. The climate always changes.
I feel like a Ukrainian in Bakhmut, surrounded by globalists and marxists on all sides, shooting at me with every woke/social-engineering weapon they have.

19 Feb 2021: BBC: US rejoins Paris accord: Biden’s first act sets tone for ambitious approach
by Matt McGrath, environment correspondent
While re-joining the pact was actually quite simple - the signing of a letter on Biden’s first day in office and then a 30-day wait which ends on Friday - there could be no more profound signal of intention from this incoming administration.
Coming back to Paris means the US will once again have to follow the rules...
Coming back to Paris really means it is no longer “America First”.
It signals that the spirit of that awkward word, “multilateralism”, is alive and well and living once again in the White House...
“I think the United States needs to recognise that the world is very different than it was four years ago and enter in, in partnership and humility, not coming back in telling everybody what they should be doing, because the world’s gone on,” said Jennifer Morgan, executive director of Greenpeace International...
“Fossil fuels are like weapons of mass destruction - they need to be kept in the ground.”
That sentiment found an echo in President Biden’s other executive action on his first day.
His cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline permit is a carefully calculated message to the oil industry...

During the session, Biden also said “the American people, four or five years ago, weren’t at all sure about climate change, whether it was real.”
“Well, they have, as they say in southern parts of my state, ‘seen the lord.’...”...
