The United Nations exists to create conflict

The UN claims that it was brought into being to promote peace. In reality, the UN creates far more conflict than peace. And here’s a ridiculous case in point.

One of the weapons in the global warming playbook has been to encourage third world countries to blame first world countries for the weather and demand compensation for their floods and assorted natural disasters. Now the UN is encouraging actual lawsuits.

A landmark decision by a top UN court has cleared the way for countries to sue each other over climate change, including over historic emissions of planet-warming gases.

The ICJ is considered the world’s highest court and it has global jurisdiction. Lawyers have told BBC News that the opinion could be used as early as next week, including in national courts outside of the ICJ.

Campaigners and climate lawyers hope the landmark decision will now pave the way for compensation from countries that have historically burned the most fossil fuels and are therefore the most responsible for global warming.

Judge Iwasawa Yuji also said that if countries do not develop the most ambitious possible plans to tackle climate change this would constitute a breach of their promises in the Paris Agreement.

He added that broader international law applies, which means that countries which are not signed up to the Paris Agreement – or want to leave, like the US – are still required to protect the environment, including the climate system.

This is a helpful reminder that the US needs to leave the UN and the entire globalist system before we’re entangled and subjected to penalties being invented by a global court and signed off on by a Democrat administration. If you think taxes are bad now, imagine when we’re considered to be legally obligated to pay amounts that make our past USAID spending look like a visit to the 99 cent store.
