The European Court of Human Rights has ruled countries are violating the rights of citizens if its climate policies are not strong enough. Geologist Ian Plimer says the decision by the ECHR is “absolute madness”. “Firstly, the court should be able to show that carbon dioxide drives global warming – that’s never been done,” he told Sky News host Rita Panahi. “The second thing is they should be able to show that human emissions of carbon dioxide drive global warming – that’s never been done. “The third thing is the court should have shown that warming is actually not good for your health.”
