“Failure of the state to take appropriate action to protect the climate system from GHG [greenhouse gas] emissions including through fossil fuel production, fossil fuel consumption, the granting of fossil fuel exploration licenses, or the provision of fossil fuel subsidies may constitute an internationally wrongful act which is attributable to that state,” the court wrote in its unanimous decision.

"Pay now, or pay more later. That’s the message sent by the International Court of Justice to fossil fuel-producing countries in an “advisory opinion” on climate change released last week. "

Bold of them to assume we will have international courts at all, let alone governments willing to pay reparations to the dead. Come to think of it, I'm not sure there will be any rule of law in the +6°C world we are marching into in doubletime.

Warning about consequences later presume there will be a later for those involved.
