A threat to human rights - The legal battle to stop climate change | DW Documentary

Climate change is a threat to human rights. Court rulings are now making governments and businesses sit up and listen. Sitting back and doing nothing to stop global warming is becoming less and less of an option, as more and more citizens seek redress in the highest courts.
Top courts recently passed judgements forcing oil companies and governments to do more to prevent climate change. Up to now, the enormous power of the petrochemicals industry has gone largely unhindered. But some environmental organizations and activists are no longer prepared to accept that. Felix Ekardt, head of the Research Unit Sustainability and Climate Policy in Leipzig and Berlin, has filed several suits with Germany’s Constitutional Court. In his opinion, the German government’s Federal Climate Change Act is too lax. Judges at Germany’s top constitutional court agreed, in part, with Ekardt and his co-plaintiffs. They ruled that long-term measures were required to achieve zero emissions and that the German state needed to do more to achieve that goal. More and more environmental cases are coming before the courts - worldwide: There have been similar verdicts in France, the Netherlands and New Zealand.
The Paris Agreement aims to limit the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2 degrees and preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The agreement is binding. But up to now the climate accord has not actually led to major structural change. The documentary shows what the latest court rulings mean for environmental policy and climate change. After all, climate change poses a risk to human rights.

We must and we can. Do not forget that the Ozone layer issue was quite different in nature. CFCs were easily replaceable, but decoupling CO2 emissions will be several magnitudes more difficult. That's why we have to start now. We can use cog income to invest into solar panels and batteries. That's about half-way there. Then innovation of agriculture and other industries can take us the rest of the way. The clock is ticking for cog companies. If they refuse to cooperate any longer, what options remain but to nationalize them or put their boards into jail or implement some other draconian policy? They are filthy rich, and can procure continued income by investing in other industries, rather they want to inflate their own income by lobbying, countersuing and playing other zero-sum games. I believe the elite has to realize that at some point the rest of humanity doesn't like playing that game anymore. And they might if the rest of the world gangs up on them.

[@robinhood4640]

I would be interested to know if any studies have been done to estimate the effects of going back to Sundays being a day where everything is closed and there is nothing to do. The problem with air pollution, is that the time needed for it to be naturally eliminated, by the chemical processes going on in the air, is insufficient to keep up with the quantity we are continually putting in it. One day a week, where the natural cleaning can take place with a considerably reduced addition, could have an impact well worth the inconvenience of not being able to do a lot on a Sunday. For decades we managed to survive with everything being closed on Sundays. I'm pretty sure with a bit of effort we could pull it off again. We will not all die because we can't buy a tee shirt, or go to MacDonalds on a Sunday.

One of the big problems is that we have already established companies that aren't being replaced, it takes billionaires and many many years to disrupt. Instead these companies NEEDS to be PUSHED out of business if they don't convert. For example the cement industry NEEDS to convert to work with hemp and the auto industry NEEDS to convert to work with batteries, food producers NEEDS to produce more plant foods instead of meat. Existing companies are the MAIN PROBLEM, we already have much of the technology and solutions needed to decarbonize. The problem is companies aren't being punished for their outright INHUMANE inaction. We need regulatory actions against capitalistic incentives that DO NOT care about the climate without government regulations. Tesla almost went bankrupt multiple times because of the existing corrupt auto industry and the financial industry. It is only now years later existing companies are being disrupted, THAT IS SIMPLY NOT FAST ENOUGH DISRUPTION. PUNISH COMPANIES IF THEY DON'T CONVERT TO GREEN SOLUTIONS.

Worked offshore oil and gas from 1980 to 2010. Still have all of my fingers and toes. Many don't. You grew up in a nice, warm and well-lit house because of people like me. 14 days on and 14 days off rotation for 30 years. Missed half of my kid's life. There are no holidays and weather is something to be endured. Hurricanes are no more severe than they were in 1980 when as an 18 year old, I rode out my first hurricane in complete horror. This all bullshit. Oh, and you're welcome little kids.

You get paid well. That’s why you do it. Don’t dramatize. If you could get paid to do something which pays more , I better you would just switch.

I'm doing my part! Eating little meat and dairy. (Usually once a week). Walking to work when the weather allows. Watching my water consumption. I only take a flight vacation once a year. I have no kids and don't plan on having any unless I adopt. Do your part!!!! Help curb Co2 and greenhouse gasses emissions! Dairy and meat industry and gasoline vehicles take a huge toll on the environment! I don't really need them to live in my personal life. Take a look at your own and if you don't need them then you can cut back in the same ways. Best of luck to all of you and our futures together on this green earth 🌎❤️

Thanks for doing your part. I stopped eating meat in 2015. I only use (little) green energy, no car, no flights, bank account at Triodos, I pick up litter everyday, I plant flowers. There's always that little more a human can do!

I support only adequate green activists and only when it's against Russia. The Russian economy should be heavily punished for everything. BUT I don't support RADICAL climate activists. Closing highways or blocking gas stations is absolutely criminal. I travel 4 hours a day because of my work on a company car and I understand this. It's not because I'm childfree (yes, I'm absolutely childfree). It's just adequate to not support left-wing or right-wing radicals. DO NOT DISRUPT LOW AND ORDER in Europe 🇪🇺

just remember that leading climate experts in the 1970s predicted that at current rates of fossil fuel usage - we'd experience climate catastrophes as of now. and yet, despite those numerous claims, fossil fuel usage has increased since then. what were the results - life expectancy is up, improved sanitation is up and climate related deaths are down. maybe we should consider how fossil fuels have enhanced our lives.

Future models not always accurant, but pretty close, yknow... such as upward trend of C02 still continuing and the IPCC report comprehensively telling you that if we don't act soon we are fucked and our peak quality of life will go down, rich getting richer, poor getting poorer, famine, droughts, mass displacements.

I don't know why stupid people get so much attention. You can't do anything about climate change it is inevitable. It would happen whether we were here or not 10,000 years ago where I am sitting right now in the state of Pennsylvania was under a mile and a half sheet of ice then climate change happened and the ice went away and now I can sit here. And guess what we didn't have a damn thing to do with the climate change and the climate warming and melting all that ice we had nothing to do with that the same as now we really don't have anything to do with it we add a very very little bit to it in the long term scheme of things. Very very little bit we are not accelerating anything it's going to happen with or without us.
