Constitutional Right to Healthy Climate</b><br>
Democracy Now!<br>
Aug 16, 2023 <br>
In a landmark climate case, a judge in Montana has ruled in favor
of a group of young people who had sued the state for violating
their constitutional rights as it pushed policies that encouraged
the use of fossil fuels. In her decision, Montana Judge Kathy
Seeley wrote, "Plaintiffs have a fundamental constitutional right
to a clean and healthful environment, which includes climate." We
speak with plaintiff Olivia Vesovich about the historic ruling,
which she calls "the most life-changing news that I've ever
heard." "It's a real watershed moment," adds Julia Olson, chief
legal counsel and executive director of Our Children's Trust, a
not-for-profit law firm representing the 16 youth plaintiffs
between ages 5 and 22. "There's going to be huge ripple effects as
other courts start stepping up and doing their role in our
democracy to be a check on the other branches of government."..<br>

Energy Predicament" | The Great Simplification #84</b><br>
Nate Hagens</font><br>
<font face="Calibri"> Aug 16, 2023 The Great Simplification - with
Nate Hagens<br>
</font>
<p><font face="Calibri">On this episode, Nate is joined by
well-known French educator Jean-Marc Jancovici to discuss the
critical importance of energy to modern economies. Together,
Nate and Jean-Marc break down the fundamentals of our complex,
growth dependent global economic system. How much of the
stereotypical Western lifestyle is centered around access to
cheap, surplus fossil energy? What would it mean for societies
to lose this stable, cheap and abundant supply - and how would
the people who have become used to it react? Will a shift in
society’s institutions and expectations need to be forced upon
us in a time of urgent change or is it possible for nations and
societies to anticipate declining energy availability - to
actively simplify before we are forced to by circumstances? <br>

<b>Lex in depth: how investors are underpricing climate risks</b><br>
The costs of inaction on global warming are potentially vast and
often not sufficiently factored in to asset values...<br>
- -<br>
But time is fast running out to decarbonise the economy. Investors
have begun to price in the decarbonisation challenge. They need to
start counting the considerable costs of inaction, too.<br>

</font><br>
<font face="Calibri"> August 17, 2014: The Boston Globe reports on
the upcoming trial of climate activists Ken Ward and Jay O'Hara in
Fall River, Massachusetts:</font><br>
<blockquote><font face="Calibri">"On May 15, 2013, Ken Ward and Jay
O’Hara anchored their lobster boat in the shipping channel off
the Brayton Point Power Station in Somerset. Flying an American
flag and a banner reading '#coalisstupid,' the two men blocked
the delivery of 40,000 tons of Appalachian mountaintop coal to
New England’s largest coal-burning power plant for a day.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">"At their trial, scheduled for Sept. 8 in
Fall River District Court, Wood and O’Hara face charges of
disturbing the peace, conspiracy, and motorboat violations.
Although conviction could result in nine months of jail time,
they’ll admit to everything. They’ll argue that it’s really
climate chnge and the government’s ineffective policies that
should be on trial.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">"Then they’ll ask the jury to find them not
guilty by reason of 'necessity.'</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">"This trial will mark a pioneering invocation
of the necessity defense, the longstanding legal doctrine that
it is acceptable to commit a crime if you are preventing a
greater harm. Traditionally, this defense is used for situations
like a prisoner fleeing from a burning jail, but Wood and
O’Hara’s lawyers will make the more sweeping argument that their
illegal interference with a coal delivery was justified in light
of the greater danger of catastrophic climate change. In past
cases, judges have blocked the attempt to use 'necessity' as a
defense by climate protesters. In this case, the defense has not
been challenged. That means that in Bristol County, for the
first time, the climate necessity defense appears bound for an
American court."</font><br>
