One kid says that his familys farm has been damaged by drought and wildfire. Another says that his childhood home has been devalued by rising sea levels. A third alleges an assault on his whole culture as man-made climate change upends the natural world.

Cute pic, but needs tidal info to be really convincing.
No idea, but its funny
About as credible as the apostrophe is needed after “generations” in the headline.
I need to file a suit regarding the dire circumstances that will occur if the government doesn’t put a stop to this Yellowstone supervolcano exploding.
Do the plaintiffs live in caves, wear grass clothing, plant and harvest their food with hand tools, walk or ride donkeys everywhere? If the answer to any of these questions is ‘no’ they need to sue their own stupid selves.
Frightening - watched part of a panel discussion about millennials this afternoon on C-Span - talked about a poll done with a group of that age which showed that the biggest foreign threat the country faced as far as most of them - 44%- were concerned was climate change (the biggest domestic threat was income inequality) - the propaganda is taking hold....
