People who would oppose granting “rights” to “nature” still don’t take the threat seriously. But the movement is making real headway. Little noticed in the media, granting rights to nature is now actively being negotiated at the United Nations.

Thankfully, the Brits have said no — for now. ... 

That’s well and good. But soon — barring some dramatic development — Labour will be in charge. I wonder whether a leftist Labour PM or environmental minister will be similarly resistant.

The U.S. delegation also is opposed. But again, for how long? The concept would fit snugly into a “Green New Deal” package, and indeed, Florida’s Democratic Party already supports nature rights in its platform.
