Nearly two dozen students who sued the federal government over "climate change" must take their arguments to the nation's executive branch, not its courts.
In a split decision, a three-judge panel of 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed the complaint while saying students "have made a compelling case that action is needed." Two judges, in the majority opinion, said the students' complaint will make it harder for "political branches to deny that climate change is occurring, that the government has had a role in causing it, and that our elected officials have a moral responsibility to seek solutions."
