“Environmentalists”

NOAA, the “experts,” predicted an “above-normal” hurricane season this year. Of course they predict that every year, and the public has been told for decades that humans and our use of natural resources is the cause of increased activity.

After Hurricane Katrina, the public was told that hurricanes would be more numerous and active than ever. Instead hurricane activity was extremely calm for ten years after Katrina. It was a record low for hurricanes.

In April of this year, at the height of the DOGE movement, President Donald Trump ditched 400 climate cultists who were slated to prepare the “National Climate Assessment.”

The howling from the elite media and eco-extremists was extraordinary.

If an international court told the Western world to jump off a cliff, would we do it? We may be about to find out. The UN’s top court, the International Court of Justice (ICJ), ruled on Wednesday that wealthy nations must meet their environmental targets, or else face being sued by the states most affected by climate change.

The case was brought to the ICJ by a group of law students from the Pacific Islands—where countries like Vanuatu are particularly at risk from rising sea levels—and was supported by 132 nations in total. As part of the ruling, Judge Yuji Iwasawa also called climate change an “urgent and existential threat,” said that a healthy environment is a human right, and declared that “states must cooperate to achieve concrete emission-reduction targets.” Those who fail to reduce their fossil fuel consumption could expect to cough up “full reparations to injured states in the form of restitution, compensation and satisfaction provided that the general conditions of the law of state responsibility are met.”

On Wednesday, PBS’s Amanpour & Company featured eponymous host Christiane Amanpour interviewing and lamenting to Vanuatu Minister for Climate Change Ralph Regenvanu that rich countries will ignore the United Nations’s International Court of Justice ruling that rich countries must pay reparations to poor countries over climate change.

There was a remarkably salient moment at a recent journalism conference in Seoul where participants from 50 countries debated climate change and its effect on both the literal and political landscape of the world.

The consensus, albeit a rough one, was that the public — from Azerbaijan to Zaire — was exhausted by the issue. It was tough to get their attention and people increasingly tuned out, even though in some cases their homes had literally been blown away.

Infamous environmental activist David Suzuki has issued a stark warning to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government, calling for the complete dismantling of Canada’s fossil fuel pipeline system to avert catastrophic climate change.

Speaking on theThursday, episode of CBC’s Front Burner podcast with host Jayme Poisson, Suzuki described the continued expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure as “moral and economic madness.”

We celebrated Canada this week, so I wanted to start with your reflections. What’s top-of-mind for David Suzuki during this year’s national celebration?

First of all, I’m grateful to Donald Trump for keeping Pierre Poilievre out of office because that’s an amazing thing, but the overarching thing is that we’re in deep trouble.

As far as I’m concerned, Mark Carney is the most well-informed prime minister on climate change that we’ve had. We all celebrated when Justin Trudeau came in after Stephen Harper. Trudeau went to Paris and signed the agreement to limit the rise of global temperatures, but then he bought a pipeline two and a half years later.
