Waste of money but it’s Globalist $. Waste of everyone’s time and of the community tax dollars. Frivolous suits should have to pay the expenses of both sides legal costs and a fine.

Funny. It’s the middle of April and 66 degrees and windy today in South Florida.

That’s freezing my Floridian standards. I actually wore a jacket to work today.

Bad timing from the little morons and their big moron parents.

Kids’ used as a leftist Trojan Horse for the environmental agenda.

Now they’ve glommed from gun control to climate change. Color me shocked...

After all, who are you to criticize kids, indeed.

As a diversion from scarfing down Tide Pods and or snorting rubbers?

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...

It would be interesting to see a list of the unnamed plaintiffs.

I’m in Minneapolis. I shoveled 18 inches of climate change yesterday. I should join the lawsuit because shoveling snow in April when the average temperature is 60 degrees sucks.

... a court-ordered, science-based “Climate Recovery Plan...

So, what can’t be achieved through legitimate science must now be achieved through a lunatic liberal Court Order.

"court-ordered, science-based"

Now there is an oxymoron if I ever saw one.

Hang tough,Gov. Scott. Don’t give in to these idiots or it will never stop. I agree with the post stating that(basically)the nuisance suits should end with the plaintiff paying the costs for both sides & I believe something along this order would stop a lot of this nonsense.

Political question doctrine. This will be thrown out of court.

The lawyer who filed this frivolous pleading should be sanctioned for wasting the court’s time and resources but the legal profession is notoriously bad about not policing their own.

nyt gets down and dirty over the guy who set himself on fire over “global warming”.
how disgusting this newspaper is:

15 April: NYT: He Called Out Sick, Then Apologized for Leaving This World
By Liz Robbins and Jan Ransom
His family and friends acknowledged that Mr. Buckel had become distraught recently over the national politics of climate change — “all that’s going on with the Trump administration and the rollback by Pruitt at the Environmental Protection Agency,” Mr. Kaelber (Buckel’s partner of nearly 34 years) said, referring to agency’s embattled administrator, Scott Pruitt...

Bold faced liars doesn’t begin to cover these people who are desperately shucking & jiving while scrabbling for $. All across the Nation & the world people are seeing the direct evidence of cooling, a normal dip, like that of 50-60 years ago.

UK - figures show the country has the highest number of winter deaths from cold and flu for almost 20 years. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/03/04/uk-weather-big-freeze-death-toll-could-rise-2000-emerges-met/

At least 10 deaths, including baby in car that plunged off slippery Louisiana road, as ice and snow close highways, schools and government offices around the South amid record-breaking cold snap.
https://www.usnews.com/news/us/articles/2018-01-16/frigid-temperatures-trail-storm-dropping-more-snow-on-south

At least 50 deaths across Europe have now been linked to the cold conditions sweeping across the continent, as people as far south as the Mediterranean felt the impacts of a Siberian weather system.

As many as 21 of those who have died are from Poland alone, the majority being homeless people sleeping rough.

There has also been severe disruption to transport and public services around Europe, with schools, roads and rail services forced to close.

It takes a crooked newspaper to print a story like this.

How about suing the state for not teaching the children that we are currently in an ice age?
