Eighteen California children are suing the US Environmental Protection Agency over its role in the climate crisis. They allege that the federal body “intentionally” allows dangerous levels of planet-heating emissions from vehicles, power plants, fossil fuel wells and other pollution sources, despite knowledge that doing so endangers children’s health and welfare. The suit is the latest in a series of youth-led constitutional climate cases brought by the non-profit law firm Our Children’s Trust.
