I 100% agree that RFK Jr espouses looney views without scientific evidence much of the time e.g. vaccines, autism. On the other hand, getting petrochemicals out of the food supply is a good idea.
And I am not sure that personal attacks are particularly helpful. My sense is that the man is not well.

This is so vitally important! Time for the Council of Europe to create an additional protocol to the European Convention on Human Rights that recognizes the right to a healthy environment. #HealthyEnvironmentForAll

The end result is that several provisions in Montana law were found to be unconstitutional, such as a rule prohibiting the state from considering climate change impacts when doing environmental assessments (which was obviously a dumb thing to legislate in the first place!)

"Montana’s right to a clean and healthful environment and environmental life support system includes a stable climate system, which is clearly within the object and true principles of the Framers inclusion of the right to a clean and healthful environment."

"GHG emissions are drastically altering and degrading Montana’s climate, rivers, lakes, groundwater, atmospheric waters, forests, glaciers, fish, wildlife, air quality, and ecosystem"

It is imperative that rich nations phase out fossil fuels asap, end deforestation, and pay the costs of poor nations for loss and damage incurred.
These are legal obligations, based on international law. No more lies, delays, or obfuscation!
Climate justice now!!
