'The link between human rights and climate change is being increasingly recognised overseas. In September this year, for example, a United Nations committee decided that by failing to adequately address the climate crisis, Australia’s Coalition government violated the human rights of Torres Strait Islanders.'
Whose 'human rights' are we talking about here? In virtually all of these emotion driven decisions there is little thought for the enormous numbers of people who depend on the energy created by the coal internationally. It would be far more useful to focus on effective alternatives, such as small modular nuclear reactors, rather than creating devastating energy austerity in the name of what is essentially virtue signaling posturing based on very sketchy scientific claims.
(Bracing for immediate down votes from the climate insecure...)
You shouldn't be allowing grandchildren if you are being 'responsible'. Overpopulation is out of control and a major reason for the pollution that causes such anxieties.

Shame on you for kicking and screaming while we drag you to the path that saves your own grandchildren.
Who is 'we'?
The responsible majority.

Eight countries will make up over half the projected total population increase by 2050:
India, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Tanzania, the Philippines and Egypt.
India is expected to overtake China as the world’s most populous country next year (2023), when China’s population is expected to start declining.
61 countries are projected to experience a population reduction by 2050.

That's why I said "your" grandchildren. Because youre the irresponsible one that doesn't care about future generations.
I don't have any.
