Now if only we had 'loser pays' laws & they had to submit proof of being able to pay the other parties legal fees before they could go to court.

Brainwashed, indoctrinated, dumb and stupid is no way to go through life, Alec.
He watched Algore's propaganda film twice in one sitting and now he's a 17 year old "expert". Geeesh. Get a life boy!

Academia. Promoter of the radical Left.
If I had to raise my kids again, they would NEVER set foot in a government “school”. They would be home schooled and have a superior education by age 18. And they would not be liberal zombies like this poor kid who was betrayed by his parents....

Agreed. These morons are worried about food disruption and demand a decrease in CO2 levels. Guess they missed the part in science class about photosynthesis? Paging Occupy Wall Street, we have a pick up ready for 2 new volunteers.

Specifically, the students are demanding that the U.S. government start reducing national emissions of carbon dioxide by at least six percent per year beginning in 2013. Wow, isn't it amazing that those four kids raised enough money to hire a law firm to represent them in a federal lawsuit?
It's so inspiring that they worked so hard to raise that money for what they believe in. Rather than, for example, being used as mere useful idiot political fronts for wealthy socialist interests that would be paying the law firm to try to undermine freedom in America. Now THAT would be disgusting.

Any kid who watches the Weather Channel (run by NBC) may well have exactly the same views.
They constantly spew the doctrine of global warming.
To: Twotone
They are suing over carbon dioxide emissions. The skeptics/realists know that this is a lagging indicator. CO2 is released after the liquid (ocean) is warmed. It can be displayed to elementary school aged children, and many adults have experienced it in one way or another. Take a warm and cold seltzer water (substitute soda or beer), give them a small shake (simulating ocean currents and convection), then open them. The warm one releases more CO2. The seltzer, soda, beer, ocean is warm. This causes the gasses to be released. Most large ocean fisheries are in colder climates because of the simple fact that dissolved gasses remain in the water and sea life can use them. Tropical oceans are comparatively deserts for the same temperature dependent reason. The parts per million increase of CO2 is a lagging indicator and blaming the Sun (actual heat source) does not 'forward' any of their causes.

OK Alex...
What is the optimum climate? When was the climate NOT changing?
You have to be able to answer these questions to be taken seriously.

Does the judge have access to some sort of an S/M store or something where he could buy a paddle?
To: Twotone
They don’t have standing. They can’t show they’ve been harmed because what they are concerned about, even if certain (and obviously predictions aren’t), hasn’t happened and caused them measurable harm.
That’s the argument that was used to deny standing to many of the suits against BHO’s eligibility. That was specious, because the harm of an unauthorized government is obvious, if unquantifiable. So, this one should be slapped down immediately.
Of course, that presumes a defense. If they are suing the US government, and Holder is charged with defending it, he might just roll over instead of defending the suit.

Born to be a narcissist.
But this kid is just another puppet. George Soros is in the background somewhere.
