“What? I fought hard to Kavanaugh in, and it’s still not enough to stack the courts in favor of me? Since when?!”

Better add Mother Nature to the list of defendants. Pretty decent evidence it’s been changing for a loooong time and it’s not clear that humans are solely responsible. Good luck 👍🏻

Meanwhile you can score heroin in any small town high school but lets focus on something else! oh and teachers raping and abusing kids all over America! Google it! The left should be ashamed of themselves but when you don't believe in anything you have no shame!

You don't see kids in flint suing over unsafe water, as many have died. On climate change ,nobody yet has died nor how can it be proven just we are to blame. It's a stretch IMO.

Very interesting. Really a tween.

At Peace Pavilion West, we have ‘Lawsuit Sundays,’ where all of Gaia’s Bounty becomes our courtroom. Oh yes, environmental justice will be served, and all the worlds rainbow children will become litigious and politically motivated. Peace!

This is so exciting. All those kids whose parents stole about half of their Halloween Candy now understand the concept of taxes and the ever growing US National Debt. So...we should see a group of young patriots suing Congress about making them liable for this ever growing debt.

Yes...climate changes duringe entire history of Earth - naturally. Dumb statement by a GenZ 'ombie' - his education has not improved since he was 8. His obviously rich, Marxist liberal Millennials parents can afford lawyers to waste money and judicial time. Science AGWhoax

I believe the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way.

Yes, little boy. There ALWAYS has been climate change. Just continue exhaling some 40 k ppm CO2 with each breath.

He only knows what his parents expose him to? Also, climate change is not humanmade.

This is something we need to grapple with:

What's going to be the trendy term for this generation? Besides 'Hopeful/Counting On Them'? Tonight I was wearing my Remember To Vote sandwich board by a line waiting to get into a bar, and a twenty-something yelled out 'but it's so boring'. Ugh.

To imagine the millions of creeps we've had to kill to get rid of racism, but it just keep crawling back out of its hellhole, and now it's infested the swamp.

the young people will definitely win, they already lead. ClimateActionNow

This lawsuit is that of very ignorant people that are not going through or living through bad times, the case should be thrown out. People need to work to eat.

Of course it is important to protect our environment but the focus on Climate Change detracts from much more important environmental issues &the measures invented to counteract it are absurd (no worries - large sums of $ will mitigate for the methane gas produced by cow toots 🤔)

This child is still getting free food and board from their parents, unfortunately many people need work, the fact that immigration only adds to the need of more jobs and adds to over all consumption means that taking jobs away will only add to the homeless numbers we see today.

So realDonaldTrump it doesn't seem that your two appointments paid off as you wanted. Plans not going as planned? Who knows...now that he's in the Court Kavanaugh may even swing left! Ooooooh! Gay & lesbians (mostly lesbians though) like beer too.

I love NPR

the left is now appropriating children as their political pawns. nice.

After Parkland, Young Voters Were Galvanized, Activists Vow To 'Continue To Organize'Some experts credit the March For Our Lives movement for helping to register young voters and keeping the gun issue alive throughout 2018.

It is amazing that it takes young people to talk sense into the 'adults'. Hopefully all of us together and make a change. The idea that people are even afraid to change law that won't impact law abiding citizens says it all.
