All nations must rapidly reduce greenhouse gas emissions

The International Court of Justice ruled that all nations must rapidly reduce greenhouse gas emissions so as to keep global heating under 1.5°C. Those that don't may be ordered by the court to pay damages to countries harmed by global heating. In the near future, those sums may be small enough that it is possible to pay them, which would make it harder to laugh them off.

Paying them would be fair, and would pressure to reduce emissions. But the saboteur in chief will spit in the court's face, with all the big fossil fuel companies burying the decision under a chorus of contempt. Can anything defeat them?

An Australian court prohibited the extension of a coal mine, because of the harm to be expected from the greenhouse emissions from burning the coal.

This decisions may block all such expansions in New South Wales, because they would only be approved if judged based on incorrect criteria.

When will the Australian government choose survival rather than destruction?

Meanwhile, reality deniers in the US are planning to officially cancel official recognition that greenhouse gases threaten public health.
