U.S. Government Can Be Sued Over Climate Change Inaction--But Not Trump
  • 6 years ago
A federal judge has ruled that a group of young Americans can sue the federal government over its lack of action to fight climate change. However, President Donald Trump cannot be named as a defendant. According to Reuters, the decision came just days before the case is scheduled to go to trial in federal court. U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken said the case revealed a delicate balance of power between the judicial and other government agencies.
