Dismissed climate case

mardi 30 mars 2021 à 02:00

The European Court of Justice dismissed the young people's climate case on the grounds that it does not consider accusations that a law is bad for people in general. I think the idea is that these issues should be handled by democratic processes, not by trials. That is valid in principle, and it might be ok in practice if the EU had a strong and effective democracy. But that is far from true. The lawsuit may have boosted the climate defense movement despite having failed.
