Put justice at the centre

The scientific basis for the causes and escalating impacts of anthropogenic climate change are unequivocally understood. Thus, on ethical grounds, no aspect of our society should be enabling the fossil fuel industry to continue their polluting ways (Zoe Bush and Fleur Ramsay, “Doing harm”, April 30– May 6). The law is about justice and nothing about big corporations fuelling a crisis that is negatively impacting marginalised people and innocent wildlife is just. It is time the saying “people over profit” and basic moral human values of caring for each other and providing stewardship over our environment took centre stage.
