These children say that their lives have been destroyed because of coal and oil so they are suing Montana.
A group of Montana youth who say their lives are already being affected by climate change and that state government is failing to protect them are the first of dozens of such efforts to get their lawsuit to trial Monday.
They will try to persuade a judge that the state’s allegiance to fossil fuel development endangers their health and livelihoods and those of future generations.
Lawsuits and policies should be based on the truth and scientific facts, not on easily manipulated computer models and made-up predictions that have consistently been wrong, like this lawsuit and the radical green policies that are being forced on the American people.
Maybe the state should take the kids to underdeveloped countries that haven’t developed and used their natural resources to see how lucky they are. Then the state should send them a bill for greatly improving their quality and length of life.
The line of defense against this nuisance lawsuit is long because it is based on factual scientific data. They can have it presented in the simplest form since they have been taught not to ask questions or do research.
They should be told that the Earth was just as warm 1,000 years ago as it is today.
They then should have pointed out to them the scientific fact that the Little Ice Age occurred from around 1300 to 1860 when the Earth cooled a little.
Then they should be shown that the Earth has only warmed a little in the last 160 years since the Little Ice Age ended, and they should be able to comprehend that the Earth always warms a little after an ice age ends.
They should be told that although there have been one or two degrees of warming in the last 160 years, we also had a 35-year period of cooling from 1940-1975 where the public was warned that a catastrophic ice age was coming.
It should be possible for the youth to understand even as journalists, politicians, and bureaucrats [are unable] to, that if temperatures sometimes rise and sometimes fall while crude oil use and coal use are constantly rising rapidly, then there is no correlation between our use of natural resources and temperatures, nor climate change.
They should be able to understand the simple scientific concept that if there is no correlation, there can be no causation.
They should also be taught that CO2 is a clear, innocuous, non-pollutant gas that makes plants thrive and allows the world to be fed.
There is also no correlation between the rise [of CO2] to a small 420 parts per million in the atmosphere to temperatures or sea levels.
Oceans, which average over 12,000 feet deep, have risen a minuscule nine inches in 140 years, which is essentially immeasurable, let alone be attributed to CO2, oil, humans, or anything else. There are thousands of natural variables.
It would help if children were shown the truth as to how life expectancy has almost doubled since we started using coal and oil and people in countries that don’t use oil and coal live shorter lives.
Maybe it would help to inform them of all the products that are derived from crude oil and ask them if their lives would be better off without them.
Maybe the children should be shown how all the previous dire predictions have been wrong including one from over 100 years ago that predicted the ice would soon be gone, that oceans were dying, and coastal cities would soon disappear.
“The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer, and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot. Reports from fishermen, seal hunters, and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard‐of temperatures in the Arctic zone.
“Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable.” —from an Associated Press report published in The Washington Post on November 2, 1922
It is a true shame that most of the media along with educators spend their time scaring children that we are destroying the Earth and that we don’t have much time left instead of doing their job to educate and inform them and to teach them to ask questions and do research.
It is no wonder so many young people are suicidal and don’t want children.
We get extremely destructive government policies when people are indoctrinated instead of told the truth.
We should count our blessings that the Earth has such an abundance of natural resources and that humans were given a brain that allowed them to develop them.

We need a age limit when it comes to fling stupid lawsuits and just like with Drinking and Smoking these kids are the victims of Eco-Freak Brainwashing by the Greens
Compared to my childhood and time at school, I cannot imagine how I would have managed if I was told all the lies our children are exposed to at school today. It is criminal and at the classroom level, surely the teachers know this and should share the responsibility for the fallout for the kids in later years.
