"It is as if an asteroid were barreling toward Earth and the government
decided to shut down our only defenses. Seeking to quash this suit, the
government bluntly insists that it has the absolute and unreviewable
power to destroy the Nation." - District Court Judge Josephine Staton
writing in her dissent of the decision in ‘Juliana v. US’ lawsuit
alleging the government violated the rights of young people to a safe
climate.
