Born in 1968.
Wiki entry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polly_Higgins
Polly's work involved a very extreme global approach to 'climate justice'.
I don't share the concerns this lawyer was promoting ... I believe eco-fascism is far more dangerous to our world than people - like Polly - could ever imagine.
https://plantsneedco2.org/ and because Polly considered carbon a pollutant and Shell to be an 'offender' she was on the wrong side of history in my opinion. We may not like the fact that oil companies are profitable but they do provide a resource that improves the lives of millions of people every day on planet earth. So many people working to save the planet are actually working to make it a less hospitable place to live if they deny access to and use of affordable, plentiful, reliable fossil fuels energies .. its just that simple .. but living in a comfortable first world nation makes us blind sometimes to this simple fact, the fact its a struggle for so many people every single day to survive in a hostile climate.
"In March 2010 international barrister and award winning author Polly Higgins proposed to the United Nations that Ecocide be made the fifth Crime Against Peace.
There are currently four Crimes Against Peace, prosecutable at the International Criminal Court: genocide, war crimes, crimes of aggression and crimes against humanity. Ecocide is the missing fifth crime – it is a crime against humanity, against current and future generations, and against all life on Earth.
It is time it was recognised as a criminal offence."
