The federal government is trying to block young people from suing in an effort to force the U.S. to curb the nation's carbon emissions. @TheJusticeDept argued, “there is no fundamental constitutional right to a ‘stable climate system.’" By @brady_dennis https://t.co/vytQBTaaMS — PolitiTweet.org

That’s part of what’s interesting about it, from my perspective. The plaintiffs are making a pretty novel claim, about the government’s responsibility to its citizens, and the Feds are saying that safeguarding the climate does not constitute a legal obligation. — PolitiTweet.org
