<p>1. The eight young people who are suing the WA state Department of Ecology to take effective action on climate change have been supported by a ruling that the state has an obligation to protect what it holds in trust—that is, a healthy environment. A comparable
ruling was issued in a New Mexico case. Similar cases are in litigation by Our Children’s Trust in five other states, and similar issues are the basis of a federal lawsuit. In the federal suit, major fossil fuel corporations and professional organizations
are attempting to intervene to block action in order to protect their profits. <a href="http://ecowatch.com/2015/11/20/stem-tide-climate-change/?utm_source=EcoWatch+List&utm_campaign=b415b62e21-Top_News_11_20_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_49c7d43dc9-b415b62e21-85965093">http://ecowatch.com/2015/11/20/stem-tide-climate-change/?utm_source=EcoWatch+List&utm_campaign=b415b62e21-Top_News_11_20_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_49c7d43dc9-b415b62e21-85965093</a>
