Violations Of The Eighth Amendment: How Climate Change Is Creating Cruel And Unusual Punishment, Robert Pistone
Violations Of The Eighth Amendment: How Climate Change Is Creating Cruel And Unusual Punishment, Robert Pistone
UC Law Environmental Journal
As climate change continues to threaten human life on Earth, greenhouse gas emissions are causing more frequent record-setting temperatures and natural disasters.

UC Law Environmental Journal
Several international policy documents define the environment as made of “natural heritage” and “cultural heritage” together, along the lines of concepts such as “biosphere” or “ecosystem” which have been introduced relatively recently to define the complexity of humanenvironment interactions.
