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

 Note - plaintiffs, who ranged in age from 5 to their early 20s

Youth tend to be idealistic and generally mean well.(e.g. peace, clean environment, human rights). With age, we learn that ideology and reality often clash. 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.
