The Independent<\/a> de ce matin l’un des points importants de la lutte autour de la crise climatique (ceux qui veulent agir contre et ceux qui ne veulent pas, ces derniers aux USA principalement): l’action l\u00e9gale. Lynas cite le cas de la petite \u00eele de Tuvalu, menac\u00e9e d’\u00eatre submerg\u00e9e par la mont\u00e9e des eaux des oc\u00e9ans et qui pourrait en faire un cas d’action juridique aux USA. Des r\u00e9sultats juridiques du point de vue des dommages et int\u00e9r\u00eats pourraient aider \u00e0 ce que les USA reconsid\u00e8rent leur politique. A c\u00f4t\u00e9 du tragique du cas et de la stupidit\u00e9 du syst\u00e8me responsable, la chose ne manquerait pas d’ironie.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00ab So, although a judgment against it would be largely symbolic, the legal action does raise the spectre of future damages claims against the US and its corporations like those faced by tobacco companies from people around the world who have suffered hardships as a result of global warming; damages claims which could eventually run into billions of dollars. The tiny Pacific island state of Tuvalu, which has already considered legal action, will be watching carefully. In Tuvalu’s case, its physical existence is called into question by rising sea levels and damages claims for the annihilation of an entire country could prove to be very expensive indeed.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb Any legal movement by Tuvalu will also be given added weight by reports of other island peoples already being forced out of their homes by rising tides. In Vanuatu, 100 villagers have been moved inland due to high tides and coastal erosion, while in Papua New Guinea’s Cartaret Islands, more than 2,000 people are likely to be evacuated to neighbouring Bougainville during 2006 because of similar flooding problems.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
