US government attorneys have argued that Americans don’t have a right to “a climate capable of sustaining human life.”

"Empowerment" is a "neoliberal word that places the responsibility for combating systems on individuals...Empowerment & power are not the same. We must quit mistaking the two. Better yet, we must quit settling for one when what we really need is the other." - Brittney Cooper.
