CLIMATE JUSTICE & INTERGENERATIONAL EQUITY.
Climate Justice & Intergenerational Equity (2014): “The continuing illegal use of the one common atmosphere and one common ocean of all nations and all peoples as a repository for carbon burning pollutants - notably CO2 and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) - constitutes illegal theft and depraved indifference that already kills about 5 million people annually , threatens to kill 10 billion people this century in a worsening climate genocide, threatens the Biosphere as well as Humanity, and illegally imposes a remorselessly increasing Carbon Debt on future generations through a process of Intergenerational Injustice, Intergenerational Inequity, Climate Injustice and Climate Criminality…Thanks to climate criminals the Carbon Debt cost for future generations to restore a safe planet is now $192 trillion and increasing by about $10 trillion each year… The world must finally reach zero emissions in about 2050 but many highly polluting countries will have already exceeded their “fair share” of the Worlds’ Terminal Carbon Budget or will be morally obliged to cease emissions in the next few years. If one considers Australia’s Domestic plus Exported GHG pollution, Australia used up its “fair share” of the World’s Terminal Carbon Budget in 2011 (3 years ago) and is now stealing the entitlement of all other countries on Earth – climate criminality and climate injustice.” [1].
