Earth system and the law: legal reasoning and its argumentation on the second Copernican revolution

Resumen
Earth system scientists have shown that the Earth is a complex adaptive system and that some of its natural processes no longer operate in safe and stable conditions to preserve life. However, we still need to explore its implications in the legal arena. Maintaining safe planetary conditions requires better integrating Earth system scientific insights into legal reasoning and argumentation. We could only examine scientific knowledge as an effective alternative within the legal and political spheres in this way. In exploring scientific and legal literature, this article presents a first effort at how legal reasoning and argumentation can embrace an Earth system perspective, using different case studies, legal resolutions, and jurisprudence. In doing so, we expose the need to eradicate misconceptions underlying legal anthropocentrism and adjust the law’s interpretation and application to more scientifically accurate ecological realities.
