His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

The charged that Trump withheld nearly $400 million in aid to Ukraine in order to pressure that country's president to open an investigation into Joe and Hunter Biden's involvement in Ukraine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They say that Trump obstructed Congress by refusing to turn over documents or to allow witnesses to testify in their investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The managers showed video clips from the House impeachment hearings, from Fox News interviews with presidential lawyer Rudy Giuliani and of the president himself, including one during the 2016 campaign, when he invited Russia — \"if you're listening\" — to find Hillary Clinton's emails.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats also continued to call for witnesses to appear before the Senate, including former national security adviser John Bolton. That issue was at the core of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/01/21/797320215/senate-impeachment-trial-begins-with-fight-over-rules\">debate over the trial ground rules\u003c/a> on Tuesday — a fight that stretched to nearly 2 a.m. ET.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Trump also cited \"national security\" for why he has reservations about testimony from some witnesses Democrats are seeking, such as Bolton. Trump said that Bolton knows too much about his personal conversations with other world leaders and that revealing them in any testimony could hurt the presidency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't know if we left on the best of terms, probably not, and you don't want someone testifying who didn't leave on the best of terms,\" Trump said of Bolton, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/09/10/724363700/trump-fires-john-bolton-in-final-break-after-months-of-policy-divisions\">who was fired in September\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is still possible but unclear whether the Senate will hear witnesses after the two sides have made their opening arguments.

It would take four Republican senators voting with the 47-member Democratic caucus to call for witnesses. But that would likely not happen until next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, Sen.

Those amendments called on the Senate to subpoena records and documents from various agencies, including the State Department, the White House Office of Management and Budget and the Defense Department. The Trump administration had refused to turn over most of the documents to House investigators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell, R-Ky., released his resolution outlining the next steps, including a week of hours-long opening arguments, on Monday. By Tuesday, ahead of the debate, Senate leaders \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/798007597\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">made additional changes\u003c/a> to the trial timeline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The back-and-forth is a culmination of disagreement between Democrats and Republicans over what would constitute a fair trial. The Democratic-led House voted in December to impeach President Trump but held off on transmitting the two articles of impeachment in an attempt to get more details on the trial rules. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., ultimately moved the process forward without the assurances Democrats sought.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell needed a simple majority — 51 votes — to approve his resolution laying out how much time House impeachment managers and the president's defense team will get to make their arguments.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called the rules \"completely partisan.\" He said McConnell's resolution seems \"designed by President Trump for President Trump.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McConnell said he would move to table any Democratic amendments to the resolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later Tuesday afternoon and into the night, he did just that. He called for a vote to table, or kill, several amendments proposed by Schumer that would have subpoenaed records of communications related to White House officials, National Security Council personnel and other Trump administration officials who have direct knowledge of \"key events in question.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The amendments were killed on party-line 53-47 votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Trial Timeline\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>McConnell maintains that he based his plan on the rules for the impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton in 1999, with each side getting 24 hours. In a last-minute change, McConnell called for the 24 hours to be divided over three days, rather than two as \u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=6662609-McConnell-Organizing-Resolution-for-Senate-Trial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">he originally proposed\u003c/a>.

It is now automatically part of the record, rather than senators having to vote to include it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Apparently, these were not only concerns for Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a spokeswoman for Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, \"Senator Collins and others raised concerns about the 24 hours of opening statements in 2 days and the admission of the House transcript in the record.

It’s the latest in a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2018/03/becerra-v-trump-california-using-courts-fight-administration/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">record 65 lawsuits\u003c/a> that Becerra has brought against the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new rule, scheduled to go into effect on April 1, requires that adults without children must work at least 20 hours per week to consistently receive food stamps. In California, that will initially affect about 400,000 Californians, or 11% of people currently getting food stamps, according to the state Department of Social Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The social services agency and county welfare departments are scrambling to prepare people who might lose their monthly grocery money from the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as CalFresh here. Meanwhile, state lawmakers are floating possible work-arounds that could blunt the edge of the federal cuts.\u003cbr>\nHere’s what you need to know about the federal food stamp cuts, the lawsuit and how California is preparing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://e.infogram.com/3451afa1-8943-46f2-8ed7-eba91aab4cc3?src=embed\" title=\"calfresh_trump_cuts\" width=\"550\" height=\"968\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What Exactly Does the Rule Do?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Under current federal law, able-bodied adults under the age of 50 with no dependent children must either be working at least 20 hours a week or in vocational training to get food stamps consistently. Otherwise, they can only receive three months of the benefit every three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\" U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue \"]We need to encourage people by giving them a helping hand but not allowing it to become an indefinitely giving hand.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a decade, states and counties have gotten that limit waived by demonstrating that the local labor market made it hard for people to find jobs. All but six California counties—Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, Santa Clara and San Mateo—have waivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new federal rule makes that waiver much more elusive in most of the state. A city or county must have an unemployment rate of at least 6% to qualify. California closed 2019 with a \u003ca href=\"https://www.edd.ca.gov/newsroom/unemployment-december-2019.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">statewide unemployment rate\u003c/a> of just under 4%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An estimated 40 California counties would be subject to the 20-hour work requirement starting April 1, while 18 central and northern counties would be spared initially due to their higher unemployment rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Why Did the Trump Administration Do it?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>When he announced the rule in December, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said it will restore the original intent of food stamps: “self-sufficiency.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to encourage people by giving them a helping hand but not allowing it to become an indefinitely giving hand,” Perdue said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But anti-poverty advocates reject the claim that limiting food stamps will encourage people to work more, citing \u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fyVWIkJIl4Ub2R8k8wV-YbncNTJ9sDB-/view\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">evidence\u003c/a> that food stamp work requirements have failed in other places. The initial proposal spurred more \u003ca href=\"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=FNS-2018-0004\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">than 140,000 public comments\u003c/a>, with many calling the policy outdated and cruel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration says the rule would shave $5.5 billion off the federal budget over 5 years. Critics counter that each food stamp dollar translates to \u003ca href=\"https://www.ers.usda.gov/amber-waves/2019/july/quantifying-the-impact-of-snap-benefits-on-the-us-economy-and-jobs/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$1.54 in economic activity\u003c/a>, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture calculations.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Why Do the States Say it’s Illegal?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The attorneys general say the rule violates the Administrative Procedure Act, a federal law that lays out steps, including notification of the public and comment periods, required to make new rules. The Trump administration did not adequately assess the impact of the rule, or how to mitigate its effects, the suit claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plus, the states argue that the rule defies long-standing policy and the original intent of the work requirement law by eliminating the states’ ability to decide whether childless adults must work given local labor markets conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Rule unequivocally runs afoul of Congress’s intent to ensure food security for low-income individuals and to permit States, who have a better understanding of their labor markets and economic conditions, to apply for waivers and use exemptions where local or individual circumstances warrant relief,” the lawsuit states.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Who Would be Most Affected?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In the first year, more than 55,000 Californians are expected to lose the benefit, according to Becerra’s office, which amounts to more than $100 million in lost benefits. The lawsuit claims that women and people of color would be most affected because they face higher barriers to employment.\u003cbr>\n[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\" Angela Shing, Deputy Director of Santa Clara County Social Services Agency\"]‘I want people to make sure that if they’re in need that they’re coming to the agency and that we are here to serve. And I fear that many of these new rules and changes that are coming out are negatively impacting our ability to do that.’[/pullquote]\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.epi.org/data/#/?subject=underemp&r=*\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">National underemployment data\u003c/a> reveals who might be at risk. Black adults are nearly twice as likely as their white counterparts to be out of a job or working part-time even though they’d prefer a full-time schedule. Hispanics, people without a high school degree and adults under 24 also face high rates of underemployment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other groups at risk of losing their food stamps include people experiencing homelessness, veterans, people recently out of jail or prison and former foster youth, according to Jessica Bartholow, a policy advocate at the Western Center on Law and Poverty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For some, having to provide proof of working 20 hours per week may become a roadblock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They will have to go through a lot of hurdles to verify eligibility,” Bartholow said. “A lot of people don’t work in places that regularly provide a printed time-sheet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What About Other Food Stamp Cuts?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>This is the first of three Trump proposals to cut food stamps. All are part of a broader set of policies aimed at reducing the country’s social safety net.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another food stamp proposal would restrict the ability of states to raise the eligibility limit on income and assets, as \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/poverty/2019/07/california-trump-food-stamp-cuts-poverty-income-inequality/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">California has done\u003c/a>. The other would set a national standard for deducting utility costs from a household budget to determine food stamp eligibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If all three rules go into effect, an estimated 3.7 million Americans, including about 625,700 Californians, would lose food stamps, according to an \u003ca href=\"https://www.urban.org/sites/default/files/publication/101368/estimated_effect_of_recent_proposed_changes_to_snap_regulations.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Urban Institute study\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How is the State Getting Ready for the Rule?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>State and county officials are reaching out to all recipients subject to the new requirements, alerting them of the change and getting as many as possible into local employment and training programs. Through those programs, affected adults can keep their CalFresh benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Clara County got a head start. Though it lost its waiver in late 2018, the Social Services Agency used banked exemptions to avoid having to cut anyone off food stamps. In the meantime, the agency has enrolled hundreds in employment programs. But the work ahead is still daunting: More than 600 residents could lose CalFresh this year if they don’t start working.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deputy Director Angela Shing says she worries that the various federal proposals to cut food stamps are causing people to lose faith in her agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want people to make sure that if they’re in need that they’re coming to the agency and that we are here to serve,” said Shing. “And I fear that many of these new rules and changes that are coming out are negatively impacting our ability to do that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What Else Could the State Do?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>State lawmakers and advisors to the governor are exploring ways that the state could provide a bandaid if the rule survives the courtroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"food-stamps\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003cbr>\nFor the first few months, the state plans to shield people from the new requirements using a backlog of month-long exemptions to the work requirement that the state has been banking. Under the new rule, those exemptions will disappear in the fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One solution is to use state funds to provide food stamps. That’s the idea behind a \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1022\">bill\u003c/a> introduced last year by Assemblywoman Buffy Wicks, a Democrat from Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could be pricey. The state estimates it could lose as much as $400 million in federal funding for CalFresh if all three of the proposed food stamp rules go into effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The state is not in a position to backfill directly the federal contributions by writing a $400 million check,” Governor Gavin Newsom said last week. But, he added, his administration is looking at ways “to significantly minimize” that cost. He said he had put $20 million for food banks in his proposed budget as a “placeholder.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What’s Next?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>All eyes will be on the courts. What are the odds that the states’ lawsuit pauses the food stamp cuts? Hard to say, but it’s been done before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In October, the Trump administration’s “public charge” rule was halted just days before it would have gone into effect, after California and other states sued on similar grounds. That rule, which is still winding its way through the courts, would make it harder for legal immigrants to get green cards if they use, or are deemed likely to use, public assistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Jackie Botts is a reporter at CalMatters.

The other would set a national standard for deducting utility costs from a household budget to determine food stamp eligibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If all three rules go into effect, an estimated 3.7 million Americans, including about 625,700 Californians, would lose food stamps, according to an \u003ca href=\"https://www.urban.org/sites/default/files/publication/101368/estimated_effect_of_recent_proposed_changes_to_snap_regulations.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Urban Institute study\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How is the State Getting Ready for the Rule?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>State and county officials are reaching out to all recipients subject to the new requirements, alerting them of the change and getting as many as possible into local employment and training programs. Through those programs, affected adults can keep their CalFresh benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Clara County got a head start. Though it lost its waiver in late 2018, the Social Services Agency used banked exemptions to avoid having to cut anyone off food stamps. In the meantime, the agency has enrolled hundreds in employment programs. But the work ahead is still daunting: More than 600 residents could lose CalFresh this year if they don’t start working.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deputy Director Angela Shing says she worries that the various federal proposals to cut food stamps are causing people to lose faith in her agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want people to make sure that if they’re in need that they’re coming to the agency and that we are here to serve,” said Shing. “And I fear that many of these new rules and changes that are coming out are negatively impacting our ability to do that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What Else Could the State Do?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>State lawmakers and advisors to the governor are exploring ways that the state could provide a bandaid if the rule survives the courtroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Zoe Lofgren, who chairs the Judiciary’s immigration subcommittee, said the administration is trampling the rights of asylum-seekers and making the protections unattainable for people with legitimate claims. Meanwhile, women, children and other vulnerable migrants are being “preyed upon by gangs and criminals” as they wait in Mexico, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The current situation is really appalling,” said Lofgren. “The administration is acting without regard to what the law requires ... it's important to note that seeking asylum is provided for under law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By law, anyone who reaches the U.S. and can make a case that they face persecution at home has a right to claim protection, regardless of whether they come to an official port of entry or enter the country without authorization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Ian Philabaum, director of border programs at Innovation Law Lab\"]'Thousands and thousands of people in Mexico, along the U.S.-Mexico border, are living on the streets, switching shelter to shelter every couple of days … struggling to feed their children.'[/pullquote]Among other things, Lofgren and her colleagues are requesting information on cases where border authorities \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/01/09/794587498/this-migrant-won-in-immigration-court-and-the-u-s-sent-him-to-mexico-anyway\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">returned people to Mexico\u003c/a> even after they were granted asylum by a U.S. immigration judge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The congressional inquiry comes nearly a year after \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/01/29/689819928/trump-administration-begins-remain-in-mexico-policy-sending-asylum-seekers-back\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the first person\u003c/a> was returned to Mexico under MPP.

If they pass an initial screening, adults requesting asylum are now given a notice for a hearing in a U.S. immigration court, with instructions to appear at the port of entry to be transported to the courthouse.

But last May, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals allowed the program to continue while the case is litigated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Previously, asylum-seekers who passed “credible fear” screenings waited in the U.S. while their cases were decided, often released into the community. That gave people a chance to get legal support and prepare their cases, as well as reconnect with relatives in this country, said Lindsay Toczylowski, executive director of the Immigrant Defenders Law Center in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for migrants in Mexico, who typically live in shelters or on the street, it’s “nearly impossible” to find U.S. immigration attorneys, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Lindsay Toczylowski executive director of the Immigrant Defenders Law Center\"]'They've created a system that's not designed to adjudicate claims but is designed just to deny people the right to asylum.'[/pullquote]Toczylowski said those in the MPP program with cases pending in the San Diego immigration court are typically summoned at 4 a.m. to the U.S. port of entry in Tijuana to be processed by CBP and then bused to the court. Some of her clients must travel hours from surrounding Mexican cities in the middle of the night to make those appointments, often with small children in tow, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They've created a system that's not designed to adjudicate claims but is designed just to deny people the right to asylum,” Toczylowski said. “It's designed to make sure that people are in no condition and have no ability to actually defend themselves in court.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legal representation is key to winning asylum, data shows, but the vast majority of asylum-seekers returned to Mexico don’t have an attorney. So far, 117 people in the program — or about 0.2% — have been granted relief, \u003ca href=\"https://trac.syr.edu/phptools/immigration/mpp/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to\u003c/a> researchers at Syracuse University.

Many say they are fleeing violence in their home countries and that their governments can’t protect them. The so-called “Northern Triangle” of Central America — Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador — is one of the world’s most dangerous regions outside a war zone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates who favor reducing immigration have applauded the MPP program. Jessica Vaughan, who directs policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies, said the adoption of Remain in Mexico has been a “major improvement” in the U.S. asylum system. Her group had recommended such a change for years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It removes the incentives that people had to leave their homes and pay a smuggler to come on this dangerous journey … hoping that they would be released into the United States,” said Vaughan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She pointed out that people in the program have a shorter wait for their claims to be decided, compared to the \u003ca href=\"https://trac.syr.edu/immigration/reports/588/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">three years\u003c/a> on average it takes for an immigration judge to rule on other asylum claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Justice Department, which oversees U.S. immigration courts, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11770865/san-diego-judges-told-to-speed-up-cases-under-controversial-immigration-policy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">told \u003c/a>judges in San Diego, El Paso and other border cities to prioritize “Remain in Mexico” cases.

Under the MPP, asylum-seekers who express such a fear about Mexico are entitled to an interview to make a case to stay in the U.S. while their cases are decided.

"content": "\u003cp>A federal appeals court on Friday dismissed a lawsuit by 21 young people who claimed the U.S. government’s climate policies and reliance on fossil fuels harms them, jeopardizes their future and violates their constitutional rights, potentially bringing an end to a long-running legal battle that activists saw as an important front in the war against environmental degradation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oregon-based youth advocacy group Our Children’s Trust filed the lawsuit in 2015 in Eugene on behalf of the youngsters. It sought an injunction ordering the government to implement a plan to phase out fossil fuel emissions and draw down atmospheric carbon dioxide emission. The case had bounced around the federal courts for five years and multiple trial dates were canceled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 2-1 vote for dismissal was a major blow for the climate activists, who have filed numerous similar cases in state and federal courts and currently have nine cases pending in state courts from Alaska to New Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t immediately clear if any further legal avenues were open to the plaintiffs and their attorneys. Our Children’s Trust and Earth Guardians did not immediately respond to telephone messages seeking comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Erin Barnhart, a spokeswoman for Children’s Trust, said in an email that the group would release a statement later Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Government attorneys repeatedly sought the case’s dismissal and succeeded in having the scope of the claims narrowed and some defendants dismissed during years of back-and-forth litigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, the court wrote that the youngsters made a compelling case that action is needed and agreed that climate change is undeniable, but said the proper venue for addressing the nation’s emissions policies and fossil fuel use is the U.S. Congress or the electorate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, the justices wrote that ending the use of fossil fuels in the U.S. alone — which is what the plaintiffs sought — would not be enough to slow or stop climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Rather, the record shows that many of the emissions causing climate change happened decades ago or come from foreign and non-governmental sources,” the opinion read, adding that experts who testified in the case said such results would require a “fundamental transformation” of the world’s energy system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The youths, who were between the ages of 8 and 18 when the lawsuit was filed in 2015, tied specific incidents that had affected their lives to climate change and U.S. government policies. In one instance, a young woman said she was forced to leave her home on a Navajo reservation because of water scarcity, separating her from her relatives. Others mentioned physical ailments from pollution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These injuries are not simply ‘conjectural’ or ‘hypothetical;’ at least some of the plaintiffs have presented evidence that climate change is affecting them now in concrete ways and will continue to do so unless checked,” the majority wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sole dissenting justice, Josephine Stanton, wrote that “my colleagues throw up their hands.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No case can singlehandedly prevent the catastrophic effects of climate change predicted by the government and scientists. … and the mere fact that this suit cannot alone halt climate change does not mean that it presents no claim suitable for judicial resolution,” Stanton wrote in her dissent.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It sought an injunction ordering the government to implement a plan to phase out fossil fuel emissions and draw down atmospheric carbon dioxide emission. The case had bounced around the federal courts for five years and multiple trial dates were canceled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 2-1 vote for dismissal was a major blow for the climate activists, who have filed numerous similar cases in state and federal courts and currently have nine cases pending in state courts from Alaska to New Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t immediately clear if any further legal avenues were open to the plaintiffs and their attorneys. Our Children’s Trust and Earth Guardians did not immediately respond to telephone messages seeking comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Erin Barnhart, a spokeswoman for Children’s Trust, said in an email that the group would release a statement later Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In one instance, a young woman said she was forced to leave her home on a Navajo reservation because of water scarcity, separating her from her relatives. Others mentioned physical ailments from pollution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These injuries are not simply ‘conjectural’ or ‘hypothetical;’ at least some of the plaintiffs have presented evidence that climate change is affecting them now in concrete ways and will continue to do so unless checked,” the majority wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sole dissenting justice, Josephine Stanton, wrote that “my colleagues throw up their hands.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No case can singlehandedly prevent the catastrophic effects of climate change predicted by the government and scientists. … and the mere fact that this suit cannot alone halt climate change does not mean that it presents no claim suitable for judicial resolution,” Stanton wrote in her dissent.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
