*“Watershed Moment”: Montana Rules Youth Have Constitutional Right to 
Healthy Climate*
Democracy Now!
Aug 16, 2023
In a landmark climate case, a judge in Montana has ruled in favor of a 
group of young people who had sued the state for violating their 
constitutional rights as it pushed policies that encouraged the use of 
fossil fuels. In her decision, Montana Judge Kathy Seeley wrote, 
"Plaintiffs have a fundamental constitutional right to a clean and 
healthful environment, which includes climate." We speak with plaintiff 
Olivia Vesovich about the historic ruling, which she calls "the most 
life-changing news that I've ever heard." "It's a real watershed 
moment," adds Julia Olson, chief legal counsel and executive director of 
Our Children's Trust, a not-for-profit law firm representing the 16 
youth plaintiffs between ages 5 and 22. "There's going to be huge ripple 
effects as other courts start stepping up and doing their role in our 
democracy to be a check on the other branches of government."..

*Jean-Marc Jancovici: "Our Global Energy Predicament" | The Great 
Simplification #84*
Nate Hagens
  Aug 16, 2023  The Great Simplification - with Nate Hagens

On this episode, Nate is joined by well-known French educator Jean-Marc 
Jancovici to discuss the critical importance of energy to modern 
economies. Together, Nate and Jean-Marc break down the fundamentals of 
our complex, growth dependent global economic system. How much of the 
stereotypical Western lifestyle is centered around access to cheap, 
surplus fossil energy? What would it mean for societies to lose this 
stable, cheap and abundant supply - and how would the people who have 
become used to it react? Will a shift in society’s institutions and 
expectations need to be forced upon us in a time of urgent change or is 
it possible for nations and societies to anticipate declining energy 
availability - to actively simplify before we are forced to by 
circumstances?

About Jean-Marc Jancovici:

    based consultancy and data

/[ Financial Times discovered climate risks ]/
*Lex in depth: how investors are underpricing climate risks*
The costs of inaction on global warming are potentially vast and often 
not sufficiently factored in to asset values...
- -
But time is fast running out to decarbonise the economy. Investors have 
begun to price in the decarbonisation challenge. They need to start 
counting the considerable costs of inaction, too.

/[The news archive - looking back ]/
/*August 17, 2014*/
August 17, 2014: The Boston Globe reports on the upcoming trial of 
climate activists Ken Ward and Jay O'Hara in Fall River, Massachusetts:

    "On May 15, 2013, Ken Ward and Jay O’Hara anchored their lobster
    boat in the shipping channel off the Brayton Point Power Station in
    Somerset. Flying an American flag and a banner reading
    '#coalisstupid,' the two men blocked the delivery of 40,000 tons of
    Appalachian mountaintop coal to New England’s largest coal-burning
    power plant for a day.

    "At their trial, scheduled for Sept. 8 in Fall River District Court,
    Wood and O’Hara face charges of disturbing the peace, conspiracy,
    and motorboat violations. Although conviction could result in nine
    months of jail time, they’ll admit to everything. They’ll argue that
    it’s really climate chnge and the government’s ineffective policies
    that should be on trial.

    "Then they’ll ask the jury to find them not guilty by reason of
    'necessity.'

    "This trial will mark a pioneering invocation of the necessity
    defense, the longstanding legal doctrine that it is acceptable to
    commit a crime if you are preventing a greater harm. Traditionally,
    this defense is used for situations like a prisoner fleeing from a
    burning jail, but Wood and O’Hara’s lawyers will make the more
    sweeping argument that their illegal interference with a coal
    delivery was justified in light of the greater danger of
    catastrophic climate change. In past cases, judges have blocked the
    attempt to use 'necessity' as a defense by climate protesters. In
    this case, the defense has not been challenged. That means that in
    Bristol County, for the first time, the climate necessity defense
    appears bound for an American court."
