[Kid Shelleen]

Avery McRae has been passionate about the environment for half a lifetime, and she’s been worried about climate change since kindergarten.

Now, at 11, she is really getting serious. She recently signed on to sue President Trump and the U.S. government.

“Trump is not doing anything to help stop climate change,” she says. “He’s a climate change denier, and we’re gonna prove that to the world!”

Child abuse pure and simple.

[Carl Vehse]

Who’s this brat fronting for?

[COBOL2Java]

Young skulls full of mush indeed.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Thank Heaven that Gorsuch has been seated.

[nopardons]

Nobody is allowed to sue a president over his decisions/acts during his presidency.

Stupid child, horrid parents ( does she have TWO living with her? ), and whomever else is using this child.

[Dilbert San Diego]

How can an 11 year old sue anyone, without parents or adults being involved? Does she have enabling parents??

[Paladin2]

Climate Change?

She must mean the Church of CAGW.

[beethovenfan]

Poor brainwashed kid.

[Fungi]

A quintessential example of leftist indoctrination at only 11 years old. Eleon Gonzales personified. Castro, where are you?

[butlerweave]

Obama said it was settled science and she’s going with it , LOL , Will Obama be called as a witness or nitwit

[Gay State Conservative]

In a few years Avery will be majoring in womyn’s studies.And she'll be living with Mommy and Daddy at 40,having been granted SSDI because of climate change induced PTSD.

[mrsmith]

Ha! A “nitwitness”.
Good name for those MSNBC guests too.

[rbg81]

McRae is one of 21 students suing the government claiming it is violating their constitutional right to a healthy planet by not doing enough to limit the use fossil fuels.

I actually watched this piece (which was the 2ND thing in the newscast) and nearly fell out of my chair when I heard this whopper. Must have missed this “right” in the Constitution. And, of course, they found a “judge” who agree the case can proceed.

[Luke21]

I’m sure if any of us or our kids announced we were suing Obama, it would make CBS News.

[blueplum]

Why are they teaching climate change in kindergarten?
Isn’t childhood supposed to be worry free and magical?
As parents aren’t we supposed to shield children from adult issues until they reach the brain age of reasoning thought, about 12-14?

[Mears]

Shut up,kid.

.

[pfflier]

Is it criminal to be a climate change denier? Is some 11 yo brainwashed egomaniac kid with questionable legal standing going to set a precident?

If this gets to the 9th circus the answer to both will be yes. We are going to be very greatful for Justice Gorsuch (and harry reid for introducing the nuclear option).

“I’m sure if any of us or our kids announced we were suing Obama, it would make CBS News.”

And they would describe you as a knuckle-dragging troglodyte hate-monger, and call your lawsuit “ugly” and “divisive”!/sarcasm;)
