A Montana judge dismissed a youth climate lawsuit against Trump’s fossil fuel policies, citing lack of judicial authority.
A federal judge in Montana dismissed a lawsuit by 22 youth activists challenging President Trump’s pro-fossil fuel policies, ruling the court lacked authority to oversee the vast number of federal regulations involved.
The plaintiffs, represented by Our Children’s Trust, argued the policies threaten their health and future by worsening climate change and violating constitutional rights.
While the judge acknowledged climate change’s real impacts, he stated judicial oversight of such broad government actions would exceed constitutional limits and create an unworkable burden.
The decision, based on procedural grounds and lack of standing, does not address the policies’ environmental or legal merits.
The activists plan to appeal, but the ruling marks a setback for youth-led climate litigation seeking federal court intervention.
