Feds have tried to prevent this case from proceeding for 4 years.
Today it is decided whether it is heard OR NOT. Jude
Dear Friend,Today, June 4, a major case regarding the Climate Crisis, Juliana v. United States, has a hearing before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in Portland Oregon. Below is information from that article:
" Twenty-one young people are suing the federal government from causing climate change.
"It has the potential to dramatically accelerate the U..S.s role in containing the climate crisis.
"The legal battle began in 2015, when an Oregon nonprofit representing 21 young people from across the country filed suit in a federal court. The young plaintiffs are suing the federal government for violating their constitutional rights to life, liberty and property by knowingly contributing to climate change for over five decades."
"The plaintiffs seek a court-ordered creation and implementation of a science-based climate recovery plan to put us on track to bring carbon dioxide levels back to 350 parts per million (ppm), or one degree Celsius of long-term warming. This would dramatically decrease the United Statess contribution to the climate crisis."
"For four years, the government has been doing everything it can to prevent Juliana v. U.S.from going to trial and has watched the District Court, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the U.S. Supreme Court reject their attempts to delay and dismiss the case."
"TheJune 4 hearingbefore the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is a critical turning point in the case: in addition to deciding whether the case will finally go to trial, this hearing will decide whether or not to cease creation of approximately 100 new fossil fuel infrastructure projects currently awaiting federal permits in the U.S. while the appeal is being heard.
It's an historic hearing, so please keep your eye on it and let your friends know about it too...
