15 Children Sue Canada over Climate Change
------------------------------------------

In Canada, 15 children and teenagers have sued the federal government
over climate change.

Plaintiff: "I am suing the Canadian government because its inactions are
costing me my health and my future."

That's one of the 15 plaintiffs, whose lawsuit argues that the Canadian
government continued to contribute to greenhouse gas emissions despite
knowing for decades that these emissions fuel climate change and
disproportionately harm children.
