The thing about rights is that we don't have any. We can make laws that give us rights to education, equal opportunities and a whole raft of things but society can be corrupt or fall to pieces. The wars we have had in recent years are proof of this, the UN rules on selling weapons are not enforced and it is the security council members that are doing all the preparations for war. For this reason we need to be discussing the climate without using the 'rights' word.
