    Julia Olson, who founded Our Children’s Trust, the non-profit law firm that brought the suit alongside Western Environmental Law Center and McGarvey Law, said the case marks the first time in US history that the merits of a case led a court to rule that a government violated young people’s constitutional rights by promoting fossil fuels.

    Amazing that this case was brought by a group of teenagers. Also, I think uniquely successful in Montana as there is a constitutional right to “a clean and healthful environment.” Way to go Big Sky Country!
