"#Montana's top court is set to hear the state's appeal of a landmark ruling holding that it was violating the rights of young people to a clean and healthful environment by barring regulators from considering the impacts on climate change when approving fossil fuel projects.
The Republican-led state will urge the Montana Supreme Court to conclude that the lawsuit by 16 young people should never have gone to trial in the first place"

"A group of 18 young California residents has sued the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for “intentionally” discriminating against American children by allowing the release of dangerous levels of #ClimateChange-causing greenhouse gas pollution.
The lawsuit is the second climate change-focused lawsuit filed by the law firm #OurChildrensTrust on behalf of minors against the U.S. government."
WIN !!
"Julia Olson, who founded #OurChildrensTrust, said the case marks the first time in #US history that the merits of a case led a court to rule that a government violated young people’s constitutional rights by promoting #FossilFuels.
“In a sweeping win for our clients, the Honorable Judge Kathy Seeley declared #Montana’s fossil fuel-promoting laws unconstitutional,” she said."
