    Montana Court Upholds Youth Climate Activists' Victory

    Montana's Supreme Court on Wednesday delivered a 6-1 ruling upholding
    a lower court's decision in favor of 16 young climate activists who
    challenged state environmental policies.[1][2]

    The court affirmed that Montana residents, under a unique provision in
    the state constitution, have a "fundamental constitutional right to a
    clean and healthful environment," which includes a stable climate
    system

    With age, we learn that ideology and reality
    often clash.

    Even in the ideology sub-domain, inconsistent beliefs exist.

    I suppose "reality" could be defined in absolute and in relative
    terms, depending upon at what level a person understands. Needless to
    say, more than one political/religious party worldwide has had their
    reality definition on a given topic.

    The earth use to be at the center of the universe, in earlier
    religious days, for instance.

    The Montana Supreme Court issued a wise ruling that will
    eventaully die out when all parties understand there's only so much that
    can be done.

    Relative to what yardstick....political has had its ups/down...but
    scientific has not been fully expressed/enacted.

    It seems to me that weather events are suggesting that shit is slowly
    hitting the fan, in regards to this topic.
