Court Strikes Down Unconstitutional Children's Climate Change Lawsuit

In a key victory for the rule of law, a panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected a lawsuit filed by children against the U.S. government, claiming that the federal government had violated the children's rights by failing to act against climate change. The lawsuit asked the court to unilaterally force the government to adopt broad climate policies, circumventing Congress and the executive branch entirely.

So it looks like the enviro Nazis will have to find a new group of children to exploit. There are kids from the St. Judes ads, dirty little kids playing in mud crying that the world’s mud will soon dry out.

Spare me the lollipop tears! Let the kids be kids and stop trying to con them into doing your dirty work for you.
 
I will never understand people who belittle children for actually standing up for something real, rather than the utter bull**** alleged adults like the OP push who deny basic science and pretend to be superior.

Because they are being put up to it by adults. Maybe we should start appointing 12 year olds as judges.
 
Why should little kids care. They just have to live in the world we adults leave them.

You can willfully deny yourself the ability of critical thinking, but do not presume that these kids don’t have it and that they don’t have the ability to recognize an important issue that will affect them.
 
The premise of the lawsuit was flawed. The fact that X is causing harm does not give the court the power to demand that X be prevented/stopped by the government.

Critucal thinking? If you think turning environmental policy over to children so they can up end the United States is a good idea, you are living in a totally impracticable fantasy world.

The issue they recognize is the one they have been taught. Obviously, the environment movement has finally surrendered: “I give up. Let try children!” Whats next kittens and puppies?

Do’h! :3oops:
Meant to say:

There are kids from the St. Judes Children’s Hospital ads that could be used, and of course you could find dirty little kids playing in mud crying that the world’s mud will soon dry out.

Did these children save up their lunch money and hire a lawyer during recess? They are simply pawns.

[h=1]Another Of The "Stupidest Litigation" Contenders Dies -- But Just Barely[/h]January 18, 2020/ Francis Menton[FONT=&quot]
  • Among the many important initiatives of this website has been holding the competition for the Award for “Stupidest Litigation in the Country.”
  • To many readers, the very first nominee for the Stupidest Litigation Award has always been the clear leading contender to win it. That nomination, made in December 2017, went to the litigation titled Kelsey Cascadia Rose Juliana v. United States. This is the case where a group of adolescents in the Pacific Northwest have sought an injunction to require the federal government to decree an end to all use of fossil fuels, in order to “save the planet.” Really, it’s hard to top that one for Stupid.
  • But just because a particular litigation is the leading contender for the Stupidest Litigation Award does not mean that no judge will grant victory to the plaintiffs. After all, the whole idea behind each of these Stupid Litigations is to offer some judge a thinly-veiled rationale to become a hero in the progressive movement by taking self-government away from the people and turning control over to the bureaucrats and experts.
  • Which is why it is significant that yesterday, a three-judge panel of the federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ordered the Juliana case dismissed.

That third judge is grossly incompetent, since the children have no standing on this, because they have no direct legal representation, as they are not of voter age.

It is even worse for suing the top legislative body of the Country which represents the voters of their districts all across the nation, who don't press their representatives to address this very thing the manipulated children are complaining about.

The lawsuit was without merit from day one.

If you didn't start forming any thoughts about the world on your own when you were young, then at least don't extrapolate from that experience to everyone. Undoubtedly they had help; minors aren't rich, generally speaking. But you have no proof and certainly no idea about whether or not someone did "put them up to this"; I don't really care to argue about whether you are lying or bull*****ing because both are as ugly.

But you aren't trying to have a substantive discussion. You're just inventing further excuses to continue to not listen, having concluded that from your armchair and without any education/experience in the field, you're still smarter and more knowledgeable than thousands of scientists around the world who devoted their careers to studying it. It's just one little dishonest move in a long list of the same: try to deny anyone who isn't a denier agency. They can't have decided for themselves. There must be shadowy forces manipulating them.

It's like making fun of Greta for taking a sailboat to one conference, but then mocking Charles for taking a jet. (You also claimed Greta was put up to it). It's a cheap shot and you'll take any one of them that seems handiest.





But that's where you're stuck once you enter CT land. Honest debate, like publishing a peer reviewed paper of your own, is out of the question. So it's all hamfisted sleights of hand. Here, denying people agency.

You are just lying in order to score imaginary Interwebs Points in a cause Fox has brainwashed you into following.




Declarations are fun! You can't prove what I said isn't true, so it must be just as true as what you're saying, right?
