Judge rules in favor of Montana youths in landmark climate decision

https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/08/14/youths-win-montana-climate-trial/

Having a hard time copying the article. But it's excellent news


In the first ruling of its kind nationwide, a Montana state court decided Monday in favor of young people who alleged the state violated their right to a “clean and healthful environment” by promoting the use of fossil fuels.

The court determined that a provision in the Montana Environmental Policy Act has harmed the state’s environment and the young plaintiffs by preventing Montana from considering the climate impacts of energy projects. The provision is accordingly unconstitutional, the court said.
