Hotcoldwetdry Is A Public Law Issue Or Something

It’s so weird that this whole thing never boils down to practicing what you preach and, instead, is all about forcing Everyone Else to practice it. Give up their money and freedom to Government

Climate change is a public law issue – Public Law Project

Climate change isn’t just an environmental issue. It’s a public law failure.

This crisis we are living through is shaped by countless government decisions: what can be built or extracted, where resources and funding flow, who is protected from harm, and who is left to bear the risks. And as ever, those least responsible for the damage being caused are paying the highest prices.

Many communities are already experiencing devastating impacts, while climate breakdown threatens to deepen inequalities across housing, health, migration, and access to justice. These harms compound and reinforce one another.

Public Law Project has always been about protecting rights and fighting for justice. Over the years, that mission has taken many forms. We have used public law to challenge unfair decision-making, to hold public bodies to account, and to stand alongside people and communities most often shut out of power.

That sounds good in theory, but, there is a reason Progressivism is called “nice Fascism”: this is For Your Own Good. Which might play well when your parents are nice Fascists. But not for other kids, right?

For the first time, PLP‘s strategy now explicitly includes climate change. The reason is simple: justice. Climate change magnifies injustice, and public law is one of the few tools capable of exposing and confronting the decisions that drive environmental harm.

As interim CEO of PLP, I am truly excited about this new chapter of our work — one shaped by experience, grounded in justice, and focused on how public law can meet the realities of the climate crisis.

I had the opportunity to work at both ends of the scale: from the UN climate talks where international legal treaties bring nations together to tackle shared challenges, to communities far removed from the corridors of power but on the frontline of environmental struggles.

Huh. So PLP’s CEO Jamie Peters takes long fossil fueled flights?

PLP is proud to work in solidarity with marginalised groups, using our power, privilege, and expertise to help create a fairer society through public law. Much of this work has focused on immigration, where we have challenged unjust systems and policies that deny people safety, dignity, and fairness.

We know that climate change will intensify these in justice, and we will see a rise in those looking for a safe haven as they flee from increasingly unsafe areas of the world. At the same time, it is working-class communities and racialised communities who are on the sharp end of environmental injustices. It is often poorer areas of society most blighted by air pollution or facing unwanted infrastructure projects at their doorstep.

Are you getting the idea that ‘climate change’ is simply a platform for these Authoritarians to implement their wacko plans? I may refer to it as a doomsday cult, but, it’s rather the same type of cult as the Nazis. As the Soviet Union comrades. As those following Mao and Pol Pot. It’s the same type of insanity that creates the AWFLs. It’s dangerous.
