Kids are suing Gov. Rick Scott to force Florida to take action on climate change
Miami Herald ^ | April 16, 2018 | by Alex Harris

Florida Gov. Rick Scott doesn't talk about climate change.

He notoriously declared "I'm not a scientist" when asked his thoughts on humanity's well-documented impact on the warming planet, banned the phrase in his administration (a charge he denies) and backed up President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris accord.

On Monday, an unusual group intends to sue Scott for ignoring the climate threat: Kids.

Seven young Florida residents — the youngest is 10, the oldest is 20, and one is a University of Miami marine science student— are the named plaintiffs in a lawsuit that seeks to force a state extremely vulnerable to climate-driven sea rise to start work on a court-ordered, science-based "Climate Recovery Plan."

The group is represented by Our Children's Trust, an Oregon-based organization sponsoring similar suits from children around the country at the state and federal level.

In the suit, lawyers accuse Scott and his administration of rolling back or failing to implement any legislation aimed at measuring or cutting back on carbon emissions, as well as ignoring the threat of rising seas on the state's coasts, which provide the economic engine for the tourism-dependent state.

Andrea Rodgers, senior attorney at Our Children's Trust, argues Florida is violating the public trust by failing to protect certain essential natural resources (like beaches) for future generations.

I wish you were the judge. Judges are former lawyers. In college they were rewarded for leftist answers to exam questions,in high school they were bullied and shunned for parties and dates if not leftist. Now these judges sanction businesses, put restraining orders on Trump immigration enforcement,and push global warming fixes.

Why don’t we just get it over with and make it so one has to be between 10 and 18 to vote and can’t be over 24 to serve in the government.

Hmmmm. In the Brave New World, everyone over 30 will be killed-—the age when people are finally able to “think for themselves” and out of the State-controlled Matrix/ People will be killed or else follow the dictates of the state slave system.

The ignorant “youth” like Hogg, who know absolutely nothing, but their State program will destermine EVERYTHING-—good and evil, Truth and Lies, “science” (LOL), etc., so everyone “old” (over 30) will be silenced or destroyed and ignored if they go off the plantation.

The “youth” will be on a perpetual Pleasure Island like today—no work, no ability to “think” or “know” Truth (God), atomized, inable to connect or commit (be moral and live), only capable of regurgitating their programming and engaging in instant gratification( being addicts since virtue formation is completely destroyed).

The children in Common Core/Goals 2000/Race to the Top (public schools designed by the evil Fabian Socialist sodomites) are only programmed to love their slavery, perversions, and ignorance and lies, as they cavort with the elite satanists in their Baphomet Rituals, devoid of concepts of the natural family, male or female, and morality—totally atomized, exactly like in Tiberius’ and Caligula’s pagan world of slavery, pederasty and baby-killing, where “natural” and “Rights” and Christianity were incomprehensible, like it is today and in irrational tribal, voodoo religions/worldview (today’s programmed “Common Core” “kids”).

Truth (God/Christianity) is wiped out of the minds of our youth, (literally demeaned and erased and twisted), who are totally programmed “bots” like Hogg—incapable of understanding Reality, Truth and Natural Laws (Common Sense—our Constitution).

Hogg was totally dehumanized in his youth—programmed by TV/the State system of indoctrination into Satanism (sodomy/baby-killing/slavery—total irrationality—transhumanism/atomization). Hogg is only a “useful idiot” because of our “school system/HollyWood (boy-rapers)) because as Lenin knew, they only need your children for four years before they totally control all their perceptions and their ideology for Life. They embed the “proper” emotions/concepts in your children using weaponized TV/video games/music/skools using dopamine hits, addiction, artificial institutions removed from the Natural Family—creating little addicts and immoral, non-thinking, (dehumanized) “bots” like the Brownshirts and Hitler Youth were for Hitler.

Free Play and Free Association were totally destroyed with the advent of helicopter “mothers”, no father-figures, and TV (warped reality of programming artificial reality)-—our programming system using peer-pressure, artificial institutions and removal (dehumanization) from the biological mother and father—children living in totally controlled environments from cradle to grave like in the Romanian orphanages—so they are incapable of real human interaction (being human) and agency (thinking for self) as the psychologists of the 19 century Germany (the House of Rothschild mafia) designed for the “Progressive” NWO of total slavery of the World.

Yep, snowstorms in the middle of April up in Chicago. I guess that’s due to “the warming planet”.

Adults are just so inconvenient as political stooges nowadays. They can actually find and read sources of independent information that contradict leftist propaganda!

Why we continue to allow commies to infect our children’s minds is beyond me. It’s like the whole of society is sick with mental illness.

Unless Soros and the entire satanic spider web are soon cleaned out, media, gov’t, schools, voting system, etc., they will win. Civilization can’t wait too much longer!

I agree. For Ohio and many parts of the Midwest, this is the coldest and snowiest April in many years.

We had a couple of nice days last week. Warmer and pretty. I was going to go out and rake and clean up. I got out there and the wind was so strong that my raking effort failed. I got in my car to go to the store and the wind blew the door and slammed to almost shut on my legs. Ugh, it hurt. lol

Before we know it, winter will be here again!

A “judge” once again proves that the mentally deficient and the scientifically ignorant can be judges. Pathetic.
