Judge ‘falls for alarmism’ as teens’ coal mine injunction bid fails27/05/2021|5min
If global warming is all about “the science” then why do activists get children to “push their wild claims,” says Sky News host Andrew Bolt.
It comes after eight children, “backed by an activist nun, global warming campaigners, and a lawyer” went to federal court to try and stop a new coal mine from being built in New South Wales.
“The judge, a former Labor candidate, did not grant their injunction against the mine, but he did fall for their alarmism,” Mr Bolt said.
Justice Mordy Bromberg said the evidence demonstrates that “by reason of the extension project’s effect on increased CO2 in the Earth’s atmosphere and the consequential increase in global surface temperatures, each of the children is exposed to a risk of death or other personal injury”.

CANBERRA, Australia A group of Australian child environmentalists lost their court bid Thursday to force the federal government to ban a coal mine expansion.
The eight children, aged 13 to 17, had argued in the Federal Court that Environment Minister Sussan Ley had a duty of care to protect younger people against climate change. Ley is considering whether to approve the Vickery mine expansion in New South Wales state, and the children sought an injunction preventing the expansion.
Justice Mordy Bromberg rejected their application while noting the Whitehaven Coal-owned mine expansion would lead to an additional 33 million metric tons (36 million U.S. tons) of coal being extracted over 25 years and 100 million metric tons (110 million U.S. tons) of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere.
