Make way for Generation Z.

Thirteen-year-old Hallie Turner of Raleigh, North Carolina, is filing a lawsuit against her home state, Al Jazeera reported Friday. The suit demands the state adhere to 4% annual deductions in carbon dioxide emissions.

"I was [in] about third or fourth grade when the issue of climate change just came up at a dinner table conversation, and I had never really heard about it and I wanted to find out more about it," Turner told a local news reporter in a video posted Friday to Twitter. "I read Al Gore's book, An Inconvenient Truth, and that just insanely inspired me and opened my eyes to how big of an issue it was, and immediately after reading that I was amazed at how apathetic people were towards the issue."

"I read Al Gore's book.....

...and is now suing her state government.....? It is a fact that anyone can bring a law suit for about $25.00 and a hungry lawyer. Al Gore's fervor stems from greed. Someone do this child a favor and give her Global Warming For Dummies.

How about suing jurisdictions for wasting tax dollars on wacky environmental regulations?

Raleigh, NC is a cesspool of liberalism.

A 13 year old reads ManBearPigs bullshit and is “insanely” inspired.

No kidding there.

That’s only important if you are claiming you have the right to a president who was born in this country. You know, small stuff.
