Saturday’s graduation at Montana State University, a major life event for many, may be somewhat ho-hum for John Thiebes, who has already represented his generation as a plaintiff in a Montana Supreme Court case to protect the earth’s atmosphere.
Thiebes is one of several people age 11 to 22 who filed lawsuits against states and the federal government in the past year as part of the Atmospheric Trust Litigation.

One would think that if ‘climate change’ was so utterly horrible and causing so many problems that it would be easy to find cases all over the place. Guess not.
BWWAAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHHAHAAA
