I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel.... Galatians 1:6
"The Madras High Court in India, which has jurisdiction over the state of Tamil Nadu, has declared that nature is a living being with rights.
“Mother Nature” as a “Living Being” having legal entity/legal
person/juristic person/juridical person/moral person/artificial person
having the status of a legal person, with all corresponding rights,
duties and liabilities of a living person, in order to preserve and
conserve them....They are also accorded the rights akin to fundamental rights/legal
rights/constitutional rights for their survival, safety, sustenance and
resurgence in order to maintain its status and also to promote their
health and wellbeing. The State Government and the Central Government
are directed to protect the ‘Mother Nature’ and take appropriate steps
to protect Mother Nature in all possible ways,” the court said.
Nature rights is the law (or soon will be) in Bolivia, Ecuador,
Chile, Panama, Bangladesh, and more than 30 United States
municipalities. At least six rivers in the world have been declared
rights-bearing entities, as have two glaciers.
I predict that before long it will become part of the climate-change
agenda and will be embraced by most progressive political parties
internationally. At that point, it will become very difficult to stop.
When that happens — it may not be a matter of “if” for much longer — we
can kiss our prosperity goodbye."
