A group of young people – young people of up to 7 years old and 25 years old – prosecution Trump administration to stop it Assault on renewable energy And climate work.
President Donald Trump’s executive orders were signed to strengthen fossil fuels with an “unconstitutional” amount of power, claiming to a complaint On Thursday, he was submitted in a local American court in Montana. The 22 prosecutors also claim that, by increasing pollution and depriving climate science, the President’s actions violate the fifth amendment rights in life and freedom.
It is the latest high -level issue that governments are fluctuated by young people concerned on how fossil fuel pollution and climate change poses risks to their health and their ability to prosper with their growth.
Two brothers, 11 and 7, “was born in the smoke caused by climate change that were not present for older generations.”
Two brothers, between the ages of 11 and 7, were born “JK” and “NK” in the lawsuit, in the smoke seasons caused by climate change, which were not present for the older generations that offer their health. complaint He says.
They grew up mostly in Montana, but they now live in southern California, and the lawsuit says that the smoke of the wildfire has violated in their lives from one state to another. JK was born with an abnormal mass of lung tissue and “experienced nose bleeding, sore throat, headache, fatigue, coughing, trouble breathing, irritation of the eye from the smoke of the wildfire,” according to the suit. NK has the “frequent” upper respiratory infections that led to the emergency room visits. They say that both of them were absent from school days and the camp due to a feeling of sickness and silence in the air from forest fires.
Emissions of greenhouse gases from fossil fuel pottery, and high temperatures Contributed to longer extinguishing seasons In the western United States. With more hot conditions, more dry, The area burned by forest fires in the western United States Double between 1984 and 2015.
“Every additional ton of [greenhouse gas] The complaint adds: “The pollution and the increase in the defendants in the temperature will lead to more bad air quality days, and more smoke, and therefore, more harm to their lives, health and safety.”
In recent years, scientists have been trying to understand the long -term health effect of wildfire smoke, which had not previously been studied as pollution from other sources believed to be more consistent problems, such as factories and highways. Now, chronic exposure to wild smoke is Anxious anxiety. Washing fire smoke It is considered nervous poison It can be more harmful Another common air pollutantBut its effects on the body can vary depending on the types of substances that burn and how the chemicals that the fire react interact with other substances in the atmosphere.
After the campaigns on the promise “Exercise, baby, drillingAnd “and Accepting more than 75 million dollars In contributions of oil and gas interests, Trump Executive orders signed on its first day In his position A paid national emergency“Directing federal agencies to “Unleash” local fossil fuel production Promoting the use of gas -powered vehicles via EVS. Another executive order signed “Breathing back[e]”Coal industry In April. Coal More pollution of the planet is released when burned From the other fossil fuel and its Compete With cheaper sources of electricity.
Prosecutors seek restive relief to prevent the implementation of those executive orders and their unconstitutional declaration. They also claim that Trump lacks the authority to erode the environmental protection approved by Congress under Clean air law. Administration efforts Disable scientific research and Climate information removal From federal sites The lawsuit, which may be able to use to reduce the risks they face from climate change, claims, is deprived of access to resources that they may be able to use to reduce the risks they face from climate change, and claims that the lawsuit reaches “censorship” and takes over access to resources that they may be able to use to reduce the risks they face from climate change.
In response to the lawsuit, White House press secretary Taylor Rogers said in an email to freedom“The American people are more interested in economic and national security for future generations, and for this reason President Trump was elected in a land victory to restore energy dominance in America. Future generations should not have to pay the bill for the leftist radical climate.”
Prosecutors, who descend from Montana, Oregon, Hawaii, California and Florida, represent the non -profit law office of our children’s confidence, which also represented young people in similar climate cases. Another Federal Appeal Court rejected issue These youths were presented against the Obama administration in 2015 due to fossil fuel pollution that caused climate change, and the end of the American Supreme Court of this legal battle this year when it is this year He refused to hear an appeal.
But there were also some victories. A group of young people It reached a settlement last year With the state of Hawaii and the Ministry of Transport, which is committed to a plan to reach the gas heer gas emissions from the transport by 2045. JK and NK were also prosecutors in a climate lawsuit filed against Montana. Last year, The Supreme Court in Montana supported Ruling on the province’s judge Confirm their right to a clean and healthy environment He rejected the policies that prevented officials from considering the consequences of climate change when allowing new energy projects.
