A 3 judge panel from the 9th circuit?! Something fishy. Will they file for a full panel? Can they? Somebody is getting a call from grrrrrrreta.

Good. This was probably being pushed along by the teachers anyway. Most students aren’t going to be like Greta the Zombie.

I've seen a couple other snippets of the dissent

This lunatic "Judge" should be nowhere near our Judiciary system

"When the seas envelop our coastal cities, fires and droughts haunt our interiors, and storms ravage everything between, those remaining will ask: Why did so many do so little?"

Lawyers serving both Presidents Obama and Trump asserted that the government is not at fault because a livable climate is not guaranteed in the Constitution.

So the lawyers threw in the towel on (1) the existence and extent of climate change, (2) the government's responsibility for climate change, (3) man's effect on any climate change, and (4) the deleterious effects of climate change as opposed to the benefits of climate change.

I would have preferred a court proceeding to establish the facts of the case. Climate advocates don't like to go head to head with climate change deniers. The facts aren't on their side.

1. Climate change exists. It’s anthropogenic climate change which does not.

The opposite of climate change would be climate stagnation. I do not believe that there has ever been climate stagnation.

The 9th Circus decided correctly, but “reluctantly”. Must be looking warily over their shoulders at Trump...

What’s scary is that it wasn’t a unanimous decision.

I shouldn’t be as relieved as I am about this.

The key to my point is establishing the “extent” of climate change. Once one puts climate change on an historic timeline, an alarmist would have to be able to demonstrate that climate change has shown an acceleration since the beginning of the human activity which is construed to “cause” it. Since the current climate change cycle, the warming demonstrated by glacial changes began in the late 1800’s, increased climate change does not correlate with increased atmospheric CO2.

The plaintiffs may appeal for an en banc decision by the entire court.

This isn’t even close to presenting a justiciable claim. Yet, two of the clowns of the Ninth circus only “reluctantly” agreed and the third clown would have allowed the lawsuit.

Don't worry, that'll be the next thing for our $Trillion$. I maintain we will just shift to the next link in the chain to tyranny: Glowbull Ice Age -> Glowbull Warming -> Climate Change -> Climate Sameness. If we have a one-world government at the end of that series, all will be good.

This movement should sue the government for allowing schools to fill their empty noggins with mush.
