Kids Sue Government Over Climate Change

A number of parents have decided to use their children to sue the U.S. government for "not protecting them from the future damage of climate change". The entire premise is absurd, and no legitimate court would even hear this case, and here are just some of the reasons why...

1) A lawsuit cannot be initiated based on a FUTURE event that may or may not happen

2) There is no guarantee that any climate change will cause those kids any real harm, personally

3) There is no Constitutional right that says the government is responsible for protecting us from the climate, or any natural occurrence

But most important - regardless of any so-called consensus of "scientists", there is no real proof that climate change, if and when it occurs, will have any substantial effect - the climate is ALWAYS changing, and for 87% of the 4.5 billion years Earth has been around, the average mean temperature has been roughly 4 degrees warmer than it is now - any warming is a NATURAL event, and one that Mankind has no power to prevent, short of causing a nuclear winter.

Furthermore, it is possible the climate could suddenly and without warning go in the direction of cooling, which it has done thousands of times in history. Our sun has warm and cool periods. Solar flares can warm things up. volcanoes and super volcanoes can cause an immediate ice age, as can a meteorite strike. In the 13th century the Earth entered what is known as the Little Ice Age (LIA) which did not "end" until the mid 19th century. We are still coming out of that.

In short, lawsuits cannot be initiated based on something that has not even happened, may not happen, and for which the defendant has no means to change, avoid, nor has any responsibility for doing so.

Any attorney who enters such a lawsuit should be disbarred - it is illegal to present frivolous lawsuits.
