"The Kids Suing The Government Over Climate Change Are Our Best Hope Now"
Look, I'm not some nutty climate denier or anything...though I'm more skeptical than your average quasi-liberal...
But come on.
I'm not even saying that this is wrong. But it sure does sound pretty nutty. And like fodder for the most intense liberal circlejerkery since The West Wing.
And the suit is brought by "young people" (ages 8-16!) [correction: 9-20]??? Led by one Xiuhtezcatl Martinez--whom Wikipedia describes as: "a climate change activist, hip-hop artist and youth director of Earth Guardians, a worldwide conservation organization"???
The entire Slate staff just swooned... (Except for Saletan. That guy's probably rolling his eyes.)
Here's the NRO on this. (See what I've been driven to? Looking to the NRO to talk sense about things???)
[Oh, and do note: what's being claimed is that we have a Constitutional right to "a stable environment."]
