I stand by my earlier assessment of this and other state’s lawsuits filed by young people in those respective states, though perhaps at some point our country should be prepared for a national level “21st Century Children’s Crusade” in the name of clean air and climate mitigation.
Perhaps this is what people refer to as “climate justice.” In fact, there is even a 501(c)(3) non-profit named Climate Justice Alliance (CJA), appropriately enough based in Berkeley, California. Their mission, as described on their website, appears to be divestment from the “extractive economy” and investment into the “regenerative economy.” CJA grew out of the environmental justice movement to seek non-profit status in 2013, and now “...envisions a world in which fairness, equity and ecological rootedness are core values.” If one is a virtue signaler, there is plenty to sign onto here.
I wonder if they think that by suing one state or a variety of states will make any difference to the climate. If China and India are generating electricity by coal, what good does it do to throttle the US? The whole climate change routine is nothing but a scam, if you look at the data for longer than 140 years.
