"Nature's complaints"? Nature doesn't complain about anything

I don't think this is terrible. I think it's a good idea. We're trashing this planet and should stop. For future generations, if nothing else. We're taking their home from them.

Well, not in English, but when the toxicity in the water starts to give fish three eyes, that is nature complaining. When a duck shows up dead and covered with oil, that is nature complaining. Nature complains loudly! You're just not listening.
The idiocy of the UN continues to hit new heights. Now we are giving the earth personhood status.
It also establishes a Ministry of Mother Earth, and provides the planet with an ombudsman whose job is to hear nature's complaints as voiced by activist and other groups, including the state.
"If you want to have balance, and you think that the only (entities) who have rights are humans or companies, then how can you reach balance?" Pablo Salon, Bolivia's ambassador to the UN, told Postmedia News.

I hope this pic illustrates what I felt when I read this.
A lot of Earth haters in this thread. It's okay for corporations to have the same rights as humans but not the living organism of Earth?
Yeah people who care about the planet are way out of control. Man, there aren't enough face palms for the nature haters on here.

That is not the point, any law that can be turned into a revenue, the big corp will pay and giggle.
The same fine will crush anything that is not big business.
This law will not help our "Mother" it will just place a on her blood is all.
Not surprised as it is headed up by the UN, but this law will not help at all.
Like a previous poster said, "They" will still drill for oil, stripmine the earth Etc.
This is all just more red tape.

That isn't complaining, that's cause and effect.
Complaining would be nature capriciously killing all fish, or having unexplained earthquakes where people are drilling for oil or bashing seals.
