Youth Sue Trump Over Climate Change, Alleging Executive Abuse

Youth Sue Trump Over Climate Change, Alleging Executive Abuse

A group of young people are suing Donald Trump because they say his actions on climate change are hurting them.

They claim that his policies, like promoting fossil fuels, are violating their rights.

They're concerned about things like worsening wildfires, floods, and extreme heat.

The young plaintiffs are represented by a nonprofit called Our Children's Trust.

The government argues the lawsuit is undemocratic.

Expert witnesses and plaintiffs testified in court, describing the impacts of climate change on their lives.

They hope the court will order the government to stop these actions and protect their future.
