Montana Supreme Court orders state to respond to climate petition filed on behalf of youths (19 may 11)

Do you know how INSANE this must look in Montana?

`BILLINGS, Mont. —

Montana's Supreme Court has ordered state officials to respond to a climate change petition filed on behalf of youths.

Attorneys behind the petition say they are seeking to establish a legal basis for the state to impose tighter restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions.

Scientists say those emissions, primarily from fossil fuels, are driving up global temperatures.

The petition was filed May 4 as part of a nationwide drive to compel state governments to address climate change.`
