Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – A Dutch court in the Hague has ordered the government to take steps to protect the Caribbean island of Bonaire from the effects of human-caused climate change, according to Dutchnews.com. Actually, they ordered the entire Dutch government to get its act together on fighting climate change, including in Europe. The judges were particularly upset that the Netherlands is not doing anything for climate resiliency in Bonaire, though it is taking such steps for the European part of the Netherlands. When I was researching Sint Maarten, I discovered why the Netherlands has these Caribbean islands. But the Dutch discovered that Caribbean islands like Sint Maarten and Bonaire had impressive salt beds, and they seized them for that reason.
