Obama admin, industry ask judge to dismiss kids' lawsuit

摘要

A federal judge is weighing a lawsuit brought by a group of children seeking to force the reductions of emissions that contribute to climate change. Lawyers for several energy companies and the U.S. government this week asked for the case to be dismissed. The youth asserted in their lawsuit that the government must act to protect natural resources and that their generation is set to be harmed the most by climate change (Greenwire, Nov. 13, 2015).
