Is it our constitutional right to live in a world safe from climate change? (only 11.59 years left)
LA Times ^ | 6/03/19 | JULIA ROSEN

Growing up in Fairbanks, Alaska, Nathan Baring has seen the signs of a warming world all around him. The winters have begun to lose their infamous chill. Thawing permafrost is shifting the ground beneath his feet. And some years, there isn’t even enough snow to ski.

“If you have eyes and you walk out your back door, you can see the changes that have taken place over only my short childhood,” said Baring, 19, who already has six years of climate activism under his belt.

So when lawyers asked Baring if he’d like to sue the federal government for failing to tackle climate change, he readily agreed.

“When I started, I didn’t have the right to vote,” Baring said. “This legal avenue was what I saw as the most effective way to put myself out here.”

It was 33 degrees this morning in NH. It snowed up north in the presidential range and Mt Washington Its June 4th. We’ve had no spring and the cukes and squash we planted has pretty much died. You’d think we were living in Alaska or something.

I think I have a Constitutional right to live without #FakeScience scams hi-jacking our laws and our tax dollars.

CO2 is plant food.

The climate has been getting warmer since the last Ice Age 12000 years ago, and some day we will enter the 5th Ice Age.

And NOTHING we puny humans can do will stop it.

4 Jun: Politico: Plagiarism charge hits Biden climate change plan
By ZACK COLMAN and NATASHA KORECKI
Former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign came under fire on Tuesday for putting out a $1.7 trillion climate change plan that appeared to copy a handful of passages from previously published documents.
The incident recalled the plagiarism incident that helped drive Biden from the 1988 presidential race, though Biden’s campaign team called the latest episode an error that was corrected...

News organization the Daily Caller also flagged other passages in the Biden climate plan: one on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from air travel that looked similar to language from a Vox story; another on aging sewer infrastructure that resembled wording from environmental group American Rivers; and another on the risks warming temperatures pose to native Alaskan tribes that mirrored government website Climate.gov...
