And, by youts, we all know this means many big monied climate cult groups astroturfing this
Young people sue Donald Trump over climate change
A group of young people — as young as 7 and as old as 25 — are suing the Trump administration to stop its assault on renewable energy and climate action.
Executive orders President Donald Trump signed to promote fossil fuels amount to an “unconstitutional” overreach of power, they allege in a complaint filed Thursday at a US District Court in Montana. The 22 plaintiffs also claim that by increasing pollution and denying climate science, the president’s actions violate their Fifth Amendment rights to life and liberty.
It’s the latest high-profile case brought against governments by youth concerned about how fossil fuel pollution and climate change poses risks to their health and ability to thrive as they grow up.
Two brothers, aged 11 and 7 and named “J.K.” and “N.K.” in the suit, “were born into climate change-induced smoke seasons that did not exist for older generations and which compromise their health,” the complaint says. (big snip)
The plaintiffs are seeking injunctive relief to block implementation of those executive orders and to declare them unconstitutional. They also claim that Trump lacks the authority to erode environmental protections passed by Congress under the Clean Air Act. The administration’s efforts to impede scientific research and remove climate information from federal websites amounts to “censorship” and denies plaintiffs access to resources they might otherwise be able to use to minimize risks they face from climate change, the suit alleges.
Will the defense lawyers or any involved judges ask if the kiddies have forgone the use of fossil fuels in their own lives? Also, have the lawyers who put this together actually read the 5th, and know what it means?
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
Yeah, that’s all about criminal prosecutions, not a bunch of cultists trying to say a tiny increase in the Earth’s temperature over 175 years from the same fossil fuels the youts won’t stop using themselves violates their 5th amendment rights. It’s all very silly.
It’s also very silly, because these same youts are happy to take Other People’s property, liberty, and I bet are supporters of abortion.
Nobody is stopping them from investing their own money in these sub-standard energy generation methods. They are just angry that they aren’t able to force every taxpayer to pay for them.
