Good Law Project to Fight Nature!
After years of unsuccessfully fighting Brexit in the courts, Jolyon Maugham’s Good Law Project has turned his attention to fighting the weather instead!
According to Good Law’s website:

It would be serious if it wasn’t so funny.
If he gets wind of this, Andrew M-W will realise why he has been sent to Norfolk…
Is there anything the climate change hoax is not being held responsible for? ”IQ is overrated (despite what racists think) because people with high IQs are more prone to believing in certain stupid things. Like putting the government in charge of everything or that exhaling is destroying the planet. Take this study. Please. Climate change might slow intellectual development, experts warn – UPI I’m not sure intellectual development involving the media and headlines involving ‘experts’ could slow down any further, but let’s find out. Kids growing up under higher-than-usual temperatures — average temps above 86 degrees Fahrenheit — are less likely to meet developmental milestones for literacy and mathematics, researchers reported Monday in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry. So does this mean that kids in Arizona, Nevada and Texas are dumber? We could compare test scores between Arizona and New York. Especially since some of the researchers involved are in New York. But, no the ‘experts’ had a better idea. For the study, researchers analyzed data for more than 19,600 3- and 4-year-olds in the African nations of Gambia, Madagascar, Malawi and Sierra Leone; in Georgia, a nation on the Black Sea; and in Palestine. ‘Palestine’? A part of Israel… Read more »
Sounds like desperation: our request for funding on previous projects failed in the courts; we need new reasons the beg for money!
It is difficult to know where to start dismantling this evidence free jumble of CRAP. Probably best to start with “The Climate Crisis is all around us”. —–Firstly “Climate Crisis” is not the language of science, it is the language of politics and activism. The activists make all manner of un-validated claims about weather events, temperature, sea level rise, wild fires etc etc and then insist they are all caused by human activity, not because there is any evidence for that, but because they say all scientists agree. But matters of science are not decided by a show of hands from scientists and modellers all funded by government. Even if this garbage had a smidgeon of the truth in it, the UK is responsible for about 1% of it. We cannot unilaterally save the planet. Creating “green jobs”, and pricing us all out of using electricity will not stop coastal erosion, it will not stop temperature from doing what it is going to do, it will not stop storms , and in actual fact there is no increase in the frequency or intensity of any type of weather event anyway, so the misery and impoverishment will all be for NOTHING.… Read more »
These people are either grifters, profoundly stupid or mentally ill. Or perhaps some combination of all three.
EVEN if costal erosion was being accelerated by man made climate change (which it isn’t), the UK’s human generated CO2 emissions is a tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, proportion of the total, so nothing the UK government does can have any effect.
AND EVEN if it turned out that the UK government was somehow able to get the entire world to transform the global energy production model and endure the civilisational wrenching cost of that, all in order to what, save a couple of houses that have been built a bit too close to the sea?
The problem is that these people aren’t immediately dismissed as completely insane.
The trouble with these grifters and lunatics, is they don’t want to acknowledge empirical evidence. They won’t accept any hard facts that contradicts their position. Rational dialogue, (which is generally a good thing), is therefore not possible and should be avoided.
I has all the hallmarks of a classic grift. ——urgency, morality, cannot be questioned because all scientists agree etc etc.
Maugham doesn’t need a legal victory. He needs treatment, poor man. Years of climate scare stories from the mainstream media have taken their toll on his mental health, poor man.
The kimono wearing fox-clubber. He’s an attention seeking idiot.
Slightly related is the fact that the old BBC 4 channel broadcast “Timeshift Killer Storms and Cruel Winters:The History of Extreme Weather” last night, which I watched. Copyright year was 2014. Still available via iPlayer: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b04c36md/timeshift-series-14-2-killer-storms-and-cruel-winters-the-history-of-extreme-weather
Still worth a look, and a reminder for those that think that “climate change” is a new idea. There is a short bit towards the end that contributes to the campaign, and one can guess at things they do not mention. That said, it does report on measures that can be done to cope better with natural events, and those that contributed to the problems – such as what was done to Exmoor in the past.
Good luck with that – there are plenty of more pressing needs that require Starmer to ‘step up’.
Based on the Good Law Project’s track record to date Starmer has little to fear from them!
I’d much rather he stepped down. Into the Atlantic ocean…
while agreeing all of that, there are stretches of coastline and riverbank where protection should be given. As an obvious example, the Embankment in London was built because seasonal snd tidal changes in the river caused boggy river banks which could be better exploited as routes for sewers and underground lines. Ditto for much of the Thames and many other rivers.
Metropolitans protect what they enjoy.
if much more of the east coast is washed away large areas inland will be inundated at great economic and social cost.
And historically large areas of farmland in Lincolnshire, Somerset levels etc went the other way, with new land being acquired from the sea. So, as you say, that was an investment.
The alterations to the Thames were mentioned in the programme I mentioned below.
I agree that is an option. The Dutch are much more proactive in protecting their coast. But this has nothing to do with purported climate change.
That misses the vital point that a large amount of the Netherlands is at or below sea level. And it might also not take into account the coastal flows as I do not know of anything similar to the heads that have grown through particle movements such as the ones at the Humber and Orford rivers.
I am approaching my ninth decade on this beautiful planet; how is it that I knew about the disappearance of towns and villages in Norfolk as the sea claimed them and why it was happening when I was a lad in short pants? Why does this JM character not know this? Have we stopped teaching basic common sense and reality to our children? (Rhetorical sarc) Somewhat related, I followed Ms M’s link and found myself in a dystopian scientific wonderland. There is a piece on an idea to flood the Qattara Depression in Egypt, and other low-lying land areas. with water from the Med to act as a relief valve and slow down the inexorable and obviously increasingly disastrous rate of global sea level increase. “Amir AghaKouchak, a professor of environmental and civil engineering” at a Californian (no comment) university has been given money to study this. Could this money have been better spent in other ways? Let’s think about that. Quite frankly my pissing in the sea would have about as much effect on the sea level as anything this idiot suggests. (Sorry about going all bold and brazen, don’t know what happened there.)
Oh for fuck’s sake. The Norfolk coastline, largely sand cliffs, has been collapsing into the sea since whenever. There are drowned villages off the coast of Norfolk and Suffolk.
Climate crisis? Nope. Intelligence crisis, from the Narcissist “Kimono” Maugham
Out of interest does anyone know who funds The Good Law Project? Are they not put off by its singular lack of success?
Ecofascists no doubt or the Far Left Blob.
These people are seriously deranged and scientifically ignorant. My only hope is that they pay their own and the state’s legal costs, but my cynicism doubts even that.
They are also about to go after investment companies and platforms with their “lawfare”.
This year has started with letters being sent to all, stating that any investment in fossil fuels is illegal, as it will cause harm to investors who choose green/sustainable investments.
It is asking them to cease forthwith or face legal action.
As a customer, you will be deemed as harmful if you choose oil, coal, etc., and therefore not allowed to make your own risk-based decisions.
Even if they don’t win. The process and its costs will be the punishment.

Maybe some DS investigator could look into this.

It’s a giant sand dune doing what dunes do, erode.
As our president, man made climate change, is a hoax, a scam. Check out GeoengineeringWatch.org. Read anything written by astrophysicist Professor Willie Soon.
If ever anybody needed taking outside for a kicking, Jolyon tops the list.
