‘Ocean Rights’ Movement Gives Globalist Elites Power to Halt Development: Marc Morano

Acknowledging that nature has legal rights would make it easier to shut down modern development, Mr. Morano warned.

The movement to grant legal rights to waterbodies such as rivers and oceans would end up concentrating power to a small group of globalist elites in the name of protecting the environment, said author and climate change skeptic Marc Morano.

“We are seeing human rights being degraded, particularly since COVID,” Mr. Morano said in an interview on EpochTV’s “Crossroads” program. “At the same time, this whole movement now is pushing for ocean rights, which is basically saying the oceans are going to attain a certain level of personhood.”
