Youths Sue Trump Administration Over Climate Policy
A group of young people is suing the Trump administration.
They are upset because they believe some of the president's orders are bad for the environment and could hurt them.
The orders encourage more oil, gas, and coal use, while the youths think this is dangerous.
They say the government is not giving the public enough information about climate change.
The lawsuit claims that these actions violate their rights.
They are hoping the court will stop the government from doing things that they believe will harm the environment and, therefore, them.
Twenty-two young Americans sued the Trump administration.
The lawsuit challenges executive orders expanding fossil fuel development.
Plaintiffs allege these orders violate their rights.
The case was filed in a federal court in Montana.
The suit targets executive orders and suppression of climate science.
