What do a group of Montana teenagers, island nations at the United Nations, and climate activists in courtrooms across America all have in common? They’re suing over the weather.
In this episode, Dr. David Legates breaks down the latest wave of climate change litigation—from the Montana “children’s climate case” to the largest case ever heard by the International Court of Justice. He examines how courts are increasingly being used to push climate policy, explores the shaky science and legal reasoning behind these suits, and shares what these cases could mean for energy, economics, and freedom in the years ahead.
