Why this dilemma matters
No legal answer is the same as a moral answer here — both have to be argued. Choosing “Yes. Climate urgency may require difficult tradeoffs” prioritises the strict rule; choosing “No. A green transition cannot be built on ignored rights” gives more weight to a context-aware exception.
Worth asking yourself
- Who is the rule protecting, and who is paying for it?
- Is mercy a kind of justice here, or its opposite?

- You are a juror. Every piece of evidence says guilty — but your gut tells you the defendant is innocent. The jury must be unanimous.
- DNA evidence exonerates an innocent person after 25 years on death row. The real killer is 85, frail, and dying. Do they go to prison?
