A group of youth asked the Supreme Court to resurrect their dismissed lawsuit that alleges the U.S. government’s energy policies violate their purported right to be protected from a changing climate.
The lawsuit was originally filed in 2015 by 21 young Americans in the federal district court in Oregon.
The petitioners’ attorney, Julia A. Olson of the Oregon-based law firm Our Children’s Trust told The Epoch Times the petition for a writ of mandamus—a court order commanding a government official or a lower court to perform an act—in the case was filed with the Supreme Court on Sept. 12. The court’s docket hasn’t reflected the new filing.
According to its website, the nonprofit law firm “provides strategic, campaign-based legal services to youth from diverse backgrounds to secure their legal rights to a safe climate.”
The plaintiffs argued in the original lawsuit that the government had known for decades that “carbon dioxide pollution was causing catastrophic climate change and that massive emission reductions and nationwide transition away from fossil fuels were needed to protect plaintiffs’ constitutional rights.”
