New Climate Model Lets Lefties Sue for "Destroying the Planet"

Timothy Birdnow

Well at least they are calling it what it is - a weapon, not a legitimate scientific effort!

The Secret Weapon that could Finally Forcle Climate Action

From Pseudo Scientist, er, New Scientist:

Yet Pujianto’s case is at the crest of a wave of litigation underpinned by innovative climate attribution models. Climate scientists say the most advanced type of model, called end-to-end attribution, can demonstrate a robust chain of cause and effect from an individual company’s carbon emissions all the way to local communities – no matter where they are.

Whether the studies will stand up in court is now being tested. "The science is evolving very rapidly and that’s allowing for new kinds of legal arguments,” says climate litigation expert Noah Walker-Crawford at the London School of Economics. What’s more, with the recent COP30 climate conference failing to deliver much meaningful action, some activists hope these advanced climate models could offer a powerful new weapon against global warming

It is no more possible to pin climate changes on a specific company than it is to pin salinity in the ocean to human urination. But that isn't going to stop the Gang Green, no sir! They will create flights of fancy supposedly linking a company with the weather and they'll judge shop, find a friendly judge who will instruct a jury in such a way as to make it impossible for a fair outcome to be had

This is politics by law. It's a disgraceful money and power grab. And New Scientist is happy about it.

Shame on them!

The short story (I won't call it an article) goes on to blame all the woes of the world on "climate change" and promotes every unexplained phenomenon on human caused warming (something not even proven as of yet). The dopey author doesn't seem to have ever read newspaper articles from the eighteenth or nineteenth centuries about equally bizarre events, things like rains of frogs or whatnot.

This dimbulb doesn't understand that climate is always changing and always has been and we are just along for the ride in most cases. It is extreme hubris to think we are the sole determinant of how warm the planet is or how warm it will be. We had nothing to do with any of it, not the last ice age, not the Holocene warming, not the many warming or cooling periods. But now because we are increasing by a very slight margin atmospheric carbon dioxide (and we are in one of the lowest periods for carbon dioxide in geological history) we are "destroying the planet". Newsflash! The planet did fine before we came and will do fine after we leave and there's not much we can do about it. Even a nuclear war would have only a short-term impact on this planet.

Ths is what passes for science these days!
