Listen now (27 mins) | Listen Now This past June 4th the 9th Circuit Court heard oral arguments concerning Juliana v. the US, a case filed in 2015 by 21 children seeking a jury verdict on whether the US government, by failing to address the climate crisis, is protecting the plaintiff’s rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In its defense the US is arguing these children, now young adults, have “no fundamental constitutional right” to a “climate system capable of sustaining human life.” In a May 30th essay published in The New England Journal of Medicine Dr. Salas and two colleagues agreed with the plaintiffs concluding , “As the Juliana plaintiffs argue - and we agree - climate change is the greatest public health emergency in our time and is particularly harmful to fetuses, infants, children and adolescent.” (Listeners may be aware this is my 7th climate crisis related interview since October.)
