MyNorthwest: Washington youth are waiting. They’ve waited for adults to take action on climate change, and after losing patience with them, they moved the issue to the courts. Now they are waiting again for a King County Superior Court judge to make her decision.
“We’re bringing this litigation to the court because the Department of Ecology has not done enough to do their job,” Aji Piper said.
Piper, 16, is among eight Washington youth who brought the case.
“They are violating our rights under the public trust doctrine, which is in our constitution – both the U.S. constitution and our state constitution,” he said. “It gets really frustrating and it feels like we’re not being listened to, and it feels like we’re running out of time.”
The eight young petitioners recently asked Judge Hollis Hill to find the state’s Department of Ecology in contempt for failing to protect Washington youth and future generations from the affects of climate change. The petitioners are between the ages of 12 and 16. Judge Hill said Tuesday that she needed more time to come to her decision. read more
The proper thing for the judge to do is to spank the plaintiffs.
@ Uncle Al
And PUNCH their parents.
PUNCH their parents.
And lawyer, double-dose
Have the PE teacher paddle them like they used to.
Can we just jettison California, Oregon and Washington from the mainland?
Is Aji Pipers father (or mother) name Pied, by any chance? What a maroon!
And the Hitler Eco-youth march on to a glorious 19th Century future.
As soon as they’re done punching the parents… Send their parents a kickass bill for court costs, that’ll change the climate around their household.
their attention span is, like, 4 minutes? so, like, who is doing this for them.
