Surely it depends what JSO's aims actually were?
"The “#radicalflankeffect” shows that when radical #activists push boundaries, they often make #moderatevoices in the same movement appear more reasonable.

#Shell wins landmark #climate case against green groups in Dutch appeal
Anna Holligan, November 12, 2024
"Part of the historic legal case hinged on the interpretation of an 'unwritten duty of care' that exists under Dutch law, which requires companies to prevent hazardous negligence.
"#FriendsOfTheEarth Netherlands argued that there was an international consensus that #HumanRights offered protection against dangerous #Climate Change and that companies had to respect human rights.
"Shell's successful appeal could have far-reaching implications for corporate climate responsibility.
"A number of #environmental groups around the world are now trying to force companies and governments to comply with the accords through the courts."

'... the court said Shell was already working to reduce its emissions and the court could not establish whether it should make a 45% cut or another percentage, as there was no current accepted agreement in climate science on the required amount.' ⬆️
