Rule of law, European Court of Human Rights: the ECHR decided in 2024 that Article 8 (right to privacy and family life) implied a right to protection from climate change and Switzerland was violating human rights by not having sufficiently-strong climate policies.

You might recognize Article 8 from all of those stories of MENA or African rapists and murderers being undeportable (it would violate their right to family life).

(This same logic could be applied to almost anything with a potentially-deleterious impact to human health, which is ~everything, so this is the ECHR giving itself unlimited power over domestic politics of member states)

Libs have never struggled with the idea of just making things up when they have a court majority. They did this for 70 years in the US, are still doing it in Europe, and will do it again if Republicans lose the Supreme Court majority.

Insufficient climate communism is legally a violation of human rights, ruled by a body that is almost impossible to reform.
