The federal government and big energy companies lost an important round Friday in their effort to block a climate change lawsuit by young plaintiffs who contend the U.S. is failing to protect them from the harmful effects of greenhouse gas emissions.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Thomas Coffin in Eugene rejected motions by the U.S. government and trade groups representing the energy companies to dismiss the lawsuit by 21 plaintiffs ages 8 to 19.

They would find employment with some wacko group.
Let’s file a law suit contending that the Federal Government is failing to protect young people from crippling debt.
LOL
God our country needs a good beating all around. People have lost all frigging perspective.
Safe space nation. Trying to make us wimpier than europe.
Or failing to educate them past basic brainwashing into believing the most ridiculous nonsense with total credulity.

Who is the shyster that filed the lawsuit?
They’re melting - due to global warming.
Not to worry. They are all bound to end up in government housing living off food stamps anyway.
If I were that judge, I would dismiss it, along with asking the question, “Shouldn’t you kids be in bed???”
“And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids!”
Oh, I get it.
There’s no Constitutional mandate to protect our borders.
No Constitutional inkling that we can vet foreigners (despite dozens of decades of Ellis Island entry processing).
In no way is the government responsible to protect the unborn. Spoiler Alert: the same will soon apply to the elderly.
The government via the courts can toss the Bill of Rights. After all, it was written by a bunch of dead old white men.
BUT there IS a Constitutional Right to be protected from an unproven scientific fabrication!
Obviously, these young folk have had oxygen-deprived brains since birth. I suggest we spend our next 20 Trillion on loosening the Van Allen Belt, it’s obviously choking us.
They need to start holding their breaths, they are contributors. How long can they hold out?

There’s an article on io9 blaming the shifting pole locations that accelerated since 2000 on:
A. all the groundwater we’ve pumped out and used, shifting world mass a little
B. the melting ice sheets
The interesting thing is, if we’ve pumped out that much groundwater, it is a valid reason to say the oceans rose a couple inches. Interesting no climate change person has ever used that in place of “CO2 is evil, de-industrialize”.
If the Antarctic ice sheets had melted a whole lot, too, you’d see far more ocean rise - and likely greater polar shift.
This amuses me. The only way the federal government can defend itself would be to hire what they call deniers to testify.
Bwahahaha
That’s not a bug, it’s a feature. The kids are supposed to win so the leftists can further tighten our bindings.
Someone should ask them who will protect them from starvation, anarchy and disease. It won’t be their tree hugging parents.
post of the decade- well stated!
