Appeals Court Rules Youth Suing Trump Admin over Climate Change Can Go to Trial
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In San Francisco, an appeals court has ruled that a group of young
people suing the Trump administration over climate change can take their
lawsuit to trial. The 21 youth are arguing the government has failed to
take necessary action to curtail fossil fuel emissions, violating their
constitutional rights. They first launched their lawsuit under the Obama
administration.
