Climate Cult Now Wants To Give Legal Rights To Forests

I wonder if this article will be as wacky as I think it will be

How giving forests legal rights can help the fight against climate change

(Skipping through lots of twatwaffle)

Replicating this approach elsewhere requires a complete ideological shift about how we see forests. We must reshape the relationship between capitalism and life itself. A groundbreaking concept is emerging – bestowing legal personality upon forests, enabling them to act as legal persons in global discourse. This notion resonates with philosopher Bruno Latour’s “Parliament of things” and Michel Serres’ “natural contract”. Gabon is offering spiritual wisdom to its forests. Governmental policy is harmonized with nature. This approach can guide us toward a renewed dialogue. Our forests are not mere resources but as representatives demanding their rightful voice.

The approach of legal personality isn’t an idealistic idea only – it’s a path illuminated by history’s greatest thinkers. As capitalism faces an existential crossroads, it’s high time to embrace nature’s wisdom. Gabon’s example is profound: we must forge a capitalism that comprehends natural limits and respects the planet. The question isn’t whether we can – it’s whether we will.

In the face of our changing climate, rising inequality, and a world still grappling with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the need to reimagine capitalism has never been more crucial. Harvard Business School Professor Rebecca Henderson argues that to create a sustainable and just future, we must foster a new relationship with nature, transform business models, and shift corporate culture.

It’s not just about doing the right thing; it’s about building a world that works for all – for all the earth’s inhabitants. Will we rise to the challenge and forge a new path?

You know, if they would just say “we need to protect our forests” I’d be with them. But, this gets entirely too wackadoodle and Modern Socialist. Cultish.
