"A scam is a scam" That's why the denial industry will suffer the same fate as the tobacco industry, except, since this is multi-generational and the kids are pissed, people will go to jail for crimes against humanity. Canadian courts could face climate-change cases in wake of Dutch ruling Jeff Gray - LAW REPORTER The Globe and Mail Published Monday, Sep. 14, 2015 6:09PM EDT Last updated Tuesday, Sep. 15, 2015 9:58AM EDT Canada could one day face a lawsuit such as the one that saw a court in The Hague order the Netherlands government to slash greenhouse gases, the lawyer who spearheaded the groundbreaking legal action says. Roger Cox, partner with Dutch law firm Paulussen Advocaten in Maastricht, Netherlands, is in Toronto on Tuesday for a speaking engagement and plans to meet with Canadian lawyers exploring whether court action here could be modelled on his surprise win in June. Mr. Cox said in an interview that the Canadian government is a good target for this new kind of climate-change litigation, given Canada’s reputation in recent years as an environmental bad apple for its oil sands and its withdrawal from the Kyoto Protocol: “I think it’s a very beautiful country, but on the climate-change issue, there is a lot to be done.” His historic case, launched on behalf of an environmental group called the Urgenda Foundation, argued that the Dutch government had a legal obligation to protect its citizens by doing its part to keep global temperatures from rising more than two degrees Celsius, a consensus target scientists say would see the world avoid the catastrophic potential of more dramatic climate change. Mr. Cox’s victory has already inspired copycats in other countries, including Belgium. Some Canadian legal experts say the idea that a Canadian court could make a similar ruling is not as far-fetched as it might sound. But it would still be an uphill battle. theglobeandmail.com American Youths File Landmark Climate Lawsuit Against President Obama & U.S. Government The plaintiffs claim that the government violated their constitutional rights by promoting the development of fossil fuels.
