A Montana judge has sided with young environmental activists who said state agencies were violating their constitutional right to a clean and healthful environment by permitting fossil fuel development without considering its effect on the climate.

Am I wrong in feeling some hope in this (at least concering US law and the huge effect the country has on the climate as a whole)? It feels like this is… actually something?

    It’s just one battle won, but it’s encouraging to see these cases succeed. They feel like such a long shot when you first hear about them, but I guess it goes to show they’re still shots worth taking. I’ve a lot of respect for the kids who followed through.
