Their victory in Hold against MontanaDefenders say that the Supreme Court later by the state’s Supreme Court has been received throughout the country, indicating that young people have a share in the issue of climate change. However, the state’s policies to address the causes of climate change in Montana – the habitat of coal, oil and large natural gas – have not changed in the aftermath of the issue.

On September 17, some of these prosecutors in the Federal Court are scheduled to ask the American boycott judge Dana Christensen a series of President Donald Trump’s executive orders on energy cases. They argue that orders violate the fifth amendment rights and will lead to nearly 200,000 additional deaths over the next 25 years and lead to more heart, respiratory system and other health problems. They are joined by other prosecutors between the ages of 7 and 24, from California, Florida, Hawaii and Oregon, and supported him with a non -profitable climate.

Eva Leithar, a 19 -year -old Livingstone, wrote in Montana, in the complaint submitted on May 29, “I do not charge,” Trump’s fossil fuel orders are the death penalty for my generation.

She added that the warming climate led to an increase in summer smoke in the wildfire and contributed to the flooding of the Yellowston River (a warmer atmosphere with more rain). At the heart of the case, Manarat against TrumpThe claim is that young people are deprived of the fifth amendment rights under the constitution of the United States – life, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness – due to the health effects of fossil fuel development and climate change. They say that the decision of the Supreme Court in Montana in December to adhere to their right to a clean and healthy environment claiming their demands.

The prosecutor of Montana Austin Kenodsen, a Republican, along with 18 other states and Gamam, one of the lands of the United States, along with the Trump administration, and submitted a request to support the government’s request to reject the case. They argue that the plaintiffs have no position to file a lawsuit, and that there is no constitutional right to a specific energy policy. “The state of Montana has an interest in this case because it will directly affect the works that were accomplished in the energy sector within its borders,” Knodsen argued in his movement.

A hearing on the dismissal proposal, as well as inviting the plaintiffs to hold executive orders, is scheduled next week in the Federal Court of Missola.

Olivia Visovic, 21, told one of the prosecutors, who was in her first year at Montana University in Missola, KFF Health News was struggling with severe sensitivity in spring pollen, and that which is that Research shows It is exacerbated by climate warming and is likely to get worse.

“My eyes were swollen every day, every one night,” Fezovich said. “When I wake up in the morning, I couldn’t open my eyes for 10 minutes. It is not fun at all, and it is aggravated by climate change and fossil fuel industry.”

It also has asthma caused by exercise, as well as feelings of suffocation from the sky full of smoke during the fire season- Severity and hesitation Which is amplified due to climate change. “Trump’s executive orders are already being implemented and caused harm.

“We offer an argument that the constitutional right in the state of Olivia to the safe climate system must be also protected by the Federal Federal Fifth amendment as part of its right to its freedom,” said Andrea Rodgers, a senior lawyer for our children’s confidence.

Our children were also behind the issue of climate change Juliana against the United StatesIn 2015 by 21 young prosecutors who have argued their rights had been violated. In 2024, the Court of Appeal in the ninth American district The Federal Provincial Court ordered To reject the case, the ruling that the courts were not the right place for climate policy.

They believe that victory is in Hold against Montana American youth give more accurate this time. If it prevailed, the outcome will be the far -reaching of the Montana case, which creates a national precedent.

Prosecutors ask the court to announce the three relevant Trump orders – “Unleash American energy“” “Declaration of the state of national energy emergencyAnd “and”Activating the beautiful clean coal industry in America– Unconstitutional and preventing their implementation. They also claim that Trump has exceeded his authority by trying to retract laws such as clean air law.

He also has Issued orders Return of environmental regulations. “We are driving a dagger in the heart of the climate change in the climate change to reduce the cost of living for American families, unleash American energy, restore car jobs to the United States, and more,” Lee Zilden, Director of the Environmental Protection Agency said in a press statement in March.

In July, the Environmental Protection Agency proposed the cancellation of 2009 “Discovering exposure“This has concluded the gases aimed at the climate,” which exposes both public health and general welfare of current and future generations. “

The result has proven that greenhouse gases are contaminated and created harmful effects, such as harsh weather and risk on human health and ecosystems. It created the basis for the regulation of cars and the power sector to address climate change.

Zeldin said that getting rid of the base It would save the Americans “one trillion dollars or more of the hidden taxes.”

The launch of fossil fuels will also come with costs. The health effects of the world of warming are completely established In scientific literature“A Washington Health Professor at the University of Washington and an expert on climate fluctuation is said,” ” The diseases transmitted by mosquitoes, such as dengue fever, chonjunia, malaria, floods, dehydration, and wildfire, are worsened due to climate change. Research has shown an increase in deaths.
