"Advisory opinion". And the US is the biggest responsible for climate change. And has already established precedent of passing laws that directly threaten the Hague. This is just a token of goodwill. Which isn't nothing, mind you, since international relations are slow to build trust. But I wouldn't call it a win of epic proportions.

EDIT: I seem to have offended some nationalists?

True. Almost half of reddit users are Americans. They will downvote you for stating the truth and find some way to blame China , India or other developing Nations for climate change.

Heh, the same comment got upvoted in environment. Guess the average US American is more worried about nationalism than about the environment.
