Quotes:
'We've got them at their own words'
'I think that Judge Aiken actually does a very good job of saying it's NOT radical to ask the government to protect the health and the lives and the property of this current generation of kids'
'what they're asking '...' is get the federal government OUT of the business of in any way subsidizing fossil fuels and get them INTO the business of dramatically curtailing greenhouse gases in order to protect the children'

#ClimateInLaw

I felt elated after seeing this doc by #AlJazeera.

Not only 'cause I was one of the plaintive and sponsor for both #Urgenda and #Millieudefensie (long time ago, when I was still young 😜 )

But mostly 'cause it's a well made documentary about the protection citizens deserve against #ClimateChange and #ClimateLitigation
and the knock-on effect around the world.

"The Case for the Climate: Forcing systems change in court | earthrise"
