Member-only story
Adult “leaders” (sic) are doing everything in their power to ensure that the next generation doesn’t have a chance.
Politicians in Montana are in court, defending their right to violate the state’s Constitution and to ensure that young Montanans who want a safe clean environment and a livable climate don’t get it. On behalf of climate abusers in all 50 states, these officials are determined to help fossil fuel profiteers (from whom they undoubtedly take “donations” — i.e. bribes) finish off destroying the biosphere in a bloodless pursuit of ever-growing profits.
Because trashing the Earth for money is “freedom.”
I would like to praise the New York Times for putting this important story on the front page. Unfortunately, they portray this as a story with two sides. Admittedly, there ARE two sides, just as there are two sides between a criminal and a victim. What doesn’t exist are two equivalent, credible and defensible sides.
Only one side — the one valuing the Earth, valuing human life, valuing the flora and fauna and others that share this planet with us — is the worthy side. Killers are…well, killers. They are NOT worthy and their values and clueless “arguments” must be dismissed. Those arguments are absurd rationalizations for unwarranted cruelty.
