One more melon full of mush judge.

This is a farce!

[Ingtar]

They should first have to prove Global Warming is real, even before they can show how it has hurt them.

[circlecity]

I see profound issues involving separation of powers here. Essentially the Judge is turning a jury into a super legislature, dictating questions of public policy that are constitutionally left to the legislature.

Snowflakes want to be legally protected from the future ...

[Steve_Seattle]

"The petitioners, between 12 and 16 years old, had asked the judge last month to find the state Department of Ecology in contempt for failing to adequately protect them and future generations from global warming."

To find them "in contempt" of, or for, exactly what? I thought law was based on precise language and specific rules and obligations. How can something so nebulous be the grounds of a lawsuit?

[HamiltonJay]

You cannot protect the climate from change... this judge is a buffoon.

The climate has changed since the earth was formed and will continue to change until it is a burnt out husk sitting inside the dying sun.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Trump needs to get rid of these so called “judges” like this. Retards should not be “judges”.

[WENDLE]

There is no global warming. These children are being manipulated by the climate lie to make you pay money and give up your stuff. The great news is that TRUMP IS HERE!!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

This type of crap has been orchestrated by Obama’s EPA. Have environmental wackos sue, then a judge rules in favor and “forces” the government to make the changes.

[mulligan]

Judge is worse than a snowflake.

[Mr. Douglas]

They are under 18. This is not a rational decision.

Now, if their parents or guardians want to sue on their behalf, that’s fine.

[BitWielder1]

I hope it's a loser pays deal, and the kids lose.

[Mr. Douglas]

The good news is that AGW will have to make its case in court.

[Rinnwald]

Sorry kiddies, there’s no money left.

The Washington teachers’ union (WEA) just finished a shakedown with a complicit state supreme court. The state’s constitution pledge of “ample provision” for education is not being met, according to the McCleary decision.

Now, Governor Inslee is floating a proposed budget with 4 billion more dollars for “education”. So, the moral is: if you want money, kiddies, form a union.

[Dilbert San Diego]

How can children, legally minors, file a lawsuit in the first place???

Do they have liberal parents who are the actual plaintiffs on the legal paperwork???

[Timpanagos1]

We should have more kids that take such steps to challenge the powers of government.

[Manly Warrior]

Last time I heard, courts require statements of fact, not theory or supposition to prove a case, even liberal courts. This could be a case that runs its course to the USSC.... climate change sure, well, maybe, at times, depending on a myriad of uncontrollable variables, but me burning firewood in winter? Not so much.

[justa-hairyape]

You cannot halt climate change without changing the climate.

[Zeppo]

King County Superior Court Judge Hollis Hill has evidently decided to follow personal opinions rather than the law when making rulings.

Is King County Superior Court Judge Hollis Hill fit to remain on the bench?

Is King County Superior Court Judge Hollis Hill senile? Or just an idiot?

[wbill]

...because I always ask 12-year-olds for their opinion before I make Global-Affecting Economic Decisions based on what is at best, an inexact science.

Judge needs to be tossed out on his kiester.
