How EU action could save Earth from climate disaster: Roger Cox at TEDxFlanders

Roger Cox is a Dutch attorney at law and pragmatic visionary. In his book Revolution Justified he calls for judicial intervention to save the planet and humanity. Due to the inaction of governments to adequately regulate greenhouse gases to avoid the dangers of climate change, governments themselves have now become a danger to society, Roger Cox says. That's why according to Roger, the law is now our only hope of really averting dangerous climate change and of breaking the status quo in the energy world. Following the script of his book Roger sued the Dutch government before the court in the Hague for it's failing climate policies, in cooperation with the Dutch NGO Urgenda and a thousand Dutch citizens as plaintiffs. He is also setting up a network of plaintiffs for similar proceedings in other European countries.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

I hope Canadian lawyers will begin filing lawsuits against the Harper government based on their irresponsible climate policies ...

Congratulation Roger - its great to see that the first case inspired by your vision has been successful!  Let's hope that this starts a domino effect...

I like the analogy between the wolf and the lawyer.

+michaelq That is a pity because my science is robust. I may be lazy with my punctuation but not my research.Think with an objective logic .Use Feynman's ''How do we do science''? "" well first we make a guess. No dont laugh that is the truth .Then we take this guess that we have made and compute what it would mean, that is compare it with nature, experiment, experience.If it does not agree with nature, experiment experience then it is wrong it is that simple that is all there is to it '' so now using that brilliant man, s scientific method look at the climate models.The ''hockey stick graph of M Mann Look at the predictions of Al Gore.They are all wrong .Not just a little bit wrong but wildly so.So michaelq you need to doubt your sources of climate science not my punctuation, that just proves how you look in the wrong places for the truth and listen to those who tell lies the loudest
