A group of young people in Montana have scored a major victory. Here's the story. CNN reports:
"Attorneys for the plaintiffs called the court’s decision a “sweeping win” in a statement.
“Today, for the first time in US history, a court ruled on the merits of a case that the government violated the constitutional rights of children through laws and actions that promote fossil fuels, ignore climate change, and disproportionately imperil young people,” said Julia Olson, chief legal counsel and executive director of Our Children’s Trust. “This is a huge win for Montana, for youth, for democracy, and for our climate. More rulings like this will certainly come.”
