The notion of boundary is just not helpful in explaining some phenomena. A virus RNA in nucleus of neurons in your brain is part of you or not? Is that alive or not? Conscious or not? The same way as an idea of a point particle breaks down

The point is that Shell is ignoring its obligations. Apparently future taxes were not sufficient to change their practices right now. It is a fact stated by the company itself and the court opinion. From the court ruling: > The RI Annual

I'm referring to your example where the oil is still extracted. The Netherlands can reduce it's own fossil fuel extraction and reduce the demand for external fossil fuel extraction. The tax scheme already exists and is implemented

Given the precedent the same laws will apply to the new oil concern. Of course Netherlands will not have power to enforce rules on fully foreign oil concerns not operating in the Netherlands. But at least the demand from the Nederlands is a

That's a hypothetical. If: a) We will keep on meeting our emission targets b) China will keep on missing their emission targets then it does not make sense to import anything from China. My guess is that CCP is quite serious about clim
