Fossil fuels are doomed

This is an amazing ruling from a judge in Montana no less deciding in favor of a group of youngsters who sued the state for endangering their health by promoting fossil fuels.

Judge rules in favor of Montana youths in landmark climate decision

Quote:
‘This is a monumental decision,’ said a lawyer for the young plaintiffs, and could influence how judges handle similar cases in other states
Quote:
The ruling represents a rare victory for climate activists who have tried to use the courts to push back against government policies and industrial activities they say are harming the planet. In this case, it involved 16 young Montanans, ranging in age from 5 to 22, who brought the nation’s first constitutional and first youth-led climate lawsuit to go to trial.
