Apparently, you can litigate anything these days, and it's gotten far more insidious than suing McDonald's over hot coffee being, you know, hot. A new climate activist group called Our Children's Trust is suing state and federal government agencies on behalf of individual children, claiming that fossil fuel regulators are negligently ruining their future.
That children should feel entitled to come of age under a specific set of favorable environmental and political circumstances " and to demand punishment for individuals they disagree with " isn't just a testament to the egocentrism dominating the 21st Century. It also exposes our culture's deeply warped understanding of climate science, which, surprisingly to many of us, actually shows global warming has no meaningful negative effects on our lives or our environment.
In fact, we have fossil fuels to thank for the twenty-first century for being the best time in human history to be alive. Unfortunately, it's the best-kept secret in our world today.
If we really want to earn "our children's trust," we should teach them the truth instead of foisting crippling and needless anxiety on an entire generation.
Contrary to the attention-grabbing clips of forests burning and shock-inducing statistics about record-high temperatures, modern climate science suggests that warming is likely to remain mild and manageable while our resilience continues to improve. In fact, despite average global temperatures increasing about 1 Fahrenheit and our population quadrupling in the last century, climate-related disasters claim 99% fewer lives. Our resistance to severe weather events (which actually have remained consistent or even declined in recent decades) is actually growing at a faster rate than non-weather-related natural disasters like volcanoes and earthquakes. The alarmists want you to believe a changing climate is jeopardizing human lives; however, the opposite is true.

Wealthy beach lovers left devastated as they're forced to slash price of luxury seaside homes by MILLIONS: 'It's unbelievable'

... Wealthy beach lovers are left devastated as they're forced to slash prices of their luxury seaside homes by millions due to climate change.
Climate experts believe the rise in sea levels and unforgiving storms, intense rainfall and coastal flooding and erosion are the culprits putting homeowners in a precarious position - and the unpredictability of it all.
The areas with some of the priciest real estate that have been hit the hardest include, Dana Point, California, to Long Island, New York, and Nantucket, Massachusetts, CNBC reported.
In September, a beach front home on Nantucket that listed for $2.3 million, fell to a staggering $600,000 after their shoreline lost 70 feet to erosion. The owner, Lynn Tidgewell said, 'this rate of erosion was not typical,' and 'dropped the price significantly in the knowledge that any prospective buyer was taking a risk.' ...

... Major cities are not alone in feeling the effects of climate change. Small vacation towns are starting to get the brunt of sea-level rise -- as evidenced by one home listing in Nantucket, Massachusetts.
In September 2023, a three-bedroom, two-bath waterfront home in Nantucket -- a "beautiful seaside retreat" as described by the sellers -- was listed at $2.3 million. Looking at the comparable homes in the area, it was somewhat of a steal. Some listings in the area are as high as $8.2 million, according to Zillow. But after a few months on the market, the price plummeted a whopping 74% to just $600,000"well below Nantucket's median home sales price of $3.2 million.
During the past two years, we've heard nothing but news of home prices increasing, so how could such a seemingly desirable property lose so much value so quickly?
Climate change is to blame. ...
