The Great Court of Extinction
The Great Court of Extinction was established by the first dynasty of the Resource Management World Government in 2143. The architecturally imposing building was erected on Anadu Hill above Pokhara in Tibet, on the adjoining summit where the Budhist Shanti Stupa monument had been constructed in 1973. This spectacular site overlooks the Fewa lake and the Himalayan mountain range dominates the view beyond the lake.
The Court buildings were decorated with a series of imaginative friezes, sculptures and art works, depicting the plants and animals lost to the future through recent historic extinctions of one kind or another. Two marble kangaroos flanked the sweep of steps that led to the main entrance and these gave the Court its more popular alternative name of the Kangaroo Court, a name used equally in half part awe and half part mockery.
The Climate Trails began on the first of January 2145 and continued in various forms for almost four hundred years until the Court was dissolved in 2544 as one of the final acts of the fifth dynasty of the Resource Management World Government.
Public Agenda
According to its founding charter, the remit of the Court was to "determine the relative guilt or innocence of those historic rulers and organisations who had presided over the mass extinctions of the 20th and 21st centuries, due to crimes of commission or omission and whose reckless stewardship of the environment had resulted in the Dislocations and the long term climatic damage of the whole Earth."
