Kids take climate change fight to Alaska Supreme Court

Assistant Attorney General Anna Jay urged justices to affirm a lower court ruling rejecting the claims. Ultimately, the climate change issues raised by Alaska youth and policies to address them must be addressed by the political branches of government, she said.

Dune Lankard of Cordova, Alaska, holds a sign showing his daughter, Ananda Rose, a budding musher, outside Boney Courthouse in Anchorage, Alaska, on Wednesday, Oct. 9, 2019. Ananda Rose is one of 16 Alaska youths who in 2017 sued the state, claiming that human-caused greenhouse gas emission leading to climate change is creating long-term, dangerous health effects.Our Children's Trust is a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting natural systems for present and future generations.

The lead client in the case, Esau Sinnok, has had his constitutional right to health and happiness denied by state policy and lack of action on climate change, Welle said.

The climate changes. Get over it.

Ridiculous, go back to school where you’re supposed to be. We get it climate change is a huge concern and should be taken seriously, but a lawsuit? Exactly why should you 16 profit off of an issue that will affect the entire world?

Hilarious !! 16 brainwashed fools.

BS

The judge should dismiss this frivolous lawsuit and sentence each of them to a hundred hours of community service.

Lol. Kids today

Idiots

Who takes them seriously ?

Is Mother Nature the defendant?

Fake News! Fake News! Fake News! Child abused, bias reporting to brain wash the American public! No buying it.

ye you are right, go file your suit in China

Who’s paying his legal fees?

Hahahaha... Those aren't kids. They are Soros puppets.

with no scientific proof of causation LMAO.

Go away ignoramuses

What are we doing to our kids....this is scary

I agree with them but they've to convince their senators & congress representatives.

Actually, the fake man made climate change hoax is a back door to socialism and that is what will interfere with Life, Liberty and the Pursuit Of Happiness

This suit is not brought by 'kids' but by well-funded doomsday prophets.

Lolololololol😂🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪😂😂😂😂😂😂🐿

Clueless..

The youths of our great country will save the earth! I call on all children and young adults of the world to continue the fight for the world. Our kids are amazing!!!

Wouldn’t they be suing Mother Earth instead?

Call NBC at (212)664-4444 demand they fire Andrew Lack and Noah Oppenheim ASAP ! Disgraceful that they haven’t already for covering up sexual assaults !!

LOL

dismissed on the grounds of zero evidence

Are they suing China!?! Stop china and we got a chance.

Let them play victim for a while. Everyone wants to stand for something. Climate change gets you time on the news. I’d rather young people focus on the humanitarian crimes in other countries. There’s a lot more real threats to our world than the “decade of doom” for our planet.

Time for nbc to fire Andrew Lack and Noah Oppenheim ASAP !! Until u do my household will not be watching any of your programs !!

Alaskan Avengers. Real superheroes.

Better bring scientific proof to the table it’s caused by man

Is that Greta?

Mother should sue their parents for being born.,

LMAO, this would assume that just Alaska is responsible for the planet aging. Problem is not the USA. China, Russia, Japan, UK and others have 10 times our levels of CO2. File lawsuit against those countries. Why is China getting another pass. Human rights and pollution.

Adapt or die

Yeah... good luck with that. Total waste of time and taxpayer money.

What constitution guarantees the 'rights to...public trust resources...'? Did these 16 Alaska youths bother to use the education system provided by the govt?

Go away till you pay taxes.

Lol

MONEY GRAB

More props at the adults table? More Greta Thunbergs? Their handlers are doing an amazing job.

Crooked DNC mentally abuses children

And this is what they get when the left panders too far.
