Snapshot from COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF filed on 4 May 2011 in U.S. District Court in California
Lawsuits and administrative actions have been filed against the U.S. federal government and all fifty States in an effort to ensure reduction of carbon emissions and prevent climate catastrophe, with the applicants being young people using the Public Trust Doctrine to advance their concerns as "the youngest living generation of beneficiaries of the Public Trust"" who have ""rights to a liveable future".
Having no right to vote because of their ages, this is the way chosen to make legislators and industry take notice.
