    Great time to be a lawyer who speaks Arabic, possibly a little Nubian and Sa’idi.

    EDIT: What exactly are you disagreeing with? These people have an immediate way to punish those responsible for climate change: through legal action.

      Bro didn’t hear about the bonesaws

      You want to go after those kings, do it with an army, not lawyers.

      Like, bro, they’re literally sovereigns! They can ignore lawsuits!

          That their royalty are cowards doesn’t stop them from being a sovereign country. Just what, exactly, do you think a lawyer can accomplish? The UN doesn’t announce a global embargo on the lifeblood of modern nations because someone points out they violated a substatute.

            For example, Oil and Gas Company Weatherford operates in 75 countries. Al Mansoori also has a wider base of operations. Also, again, if lawyers and journalists are so harmless to the GREAT AND POWERFUL ROYAL OVERLORDS™ then nobody would ever need to be butchered. If a large number of people, say hundreds of affected families, in a class action lawsuit all get butchered at once then even Royalty is going to have a very hard time both domestic and abroad.
