Interference in Smith v Fonter...

BOOM!

A new legal front is opening up in the effort to hold fossil fuel companies responsible.

Climate litigation - Trapped by floods and fearing death in the heat: the Australians taking legal action over the climate crisis

"The complaint is exploratory. It argues the government is violating the claimants’ human rights by continuing to support coal and gas developments that fuel climate extremes."

"... A “glaring inconsistency” in climate policy: that the country is taking steps to cut domestic emissions as it expands support for fossil fuel exports. The stories of these claimants show climate change is not an abstract future threat... Australia has a “huge amount of liability and exposure” given the scale of its fossil fuel exports." >>
