Welcome to The Climate Record!
Every major climate court battle tells a bigger story about our world.
Climate lawsuits are rising at a rapid pace across the globe. Today, the courtroom has become our most powerful tool to hold polluters and governments accountable. But these legal battles are not just about laws and courtrooms.
Behind every climate case, there is a deep hidden story. These cases rely on complex science, global economics, and international human rights.
The Climate Record uncovers these stories. I use high-stakes lawsuits as a storytelling hook to break down the massive global systems driving the climate crisis and demystify the concepts that actually matter.
You will learn exactly how “attribution science” can help quantify how much human-made climate change has intensified a specific flood; why mega-corporations conveniently distance themselves from “Scope 3 emissions”; what international human rights laws says about climate responsibility; and what happens when the bedrock of climate policy is wiped away.
If you want a deeper dive into the specific courtroom battles and legal strategies, you can also listen to my podcast, Climate Court Voices, right here on this Substack.
