I suspect this kind of #climate driven lawsuit will be a big problem for cities in the future (esp. areas where local governments are failing to adapt fast enough) https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/north-austin-neighbors-consider-lawsuit-against-city/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=mastodon&utm_campaign=mastodon

If governments aren't paying enough attention to climate risks, they'll still get sued by their residents when their homes are flooded or burnt down in weather events, driven by climate change... blame goes straight to the local agencies.

@ai6yr I wonder if the voting record of the victims will be considered.

@W6KME @ai6yr
Nonvoters certainly have no room to complain about what the elected officials do while in office.

@GreenFire If you abstain, you lose the right to complain. @W6KME @ai6yr @alfredo_liberal@universeodon.com
