    Judge rules in favor of Montana youths in landmark climate decision

    'This is a monumental decision,' said a lawyer for the young
    plaintiffs. The ruling could influence how judges handle similar cases
    in other states.

    In the first ruling of its kind nationwide, a Montana state court
    decided Monday in favor of young people who alleged the state violated
    their right to a "clean and healthful environment" by promoting the
    use of fossil fuels.

    But, GOP believes its OK to muck up planet Earth; oil/gas/coal groups
    pour millions into their reelection campaigns/etc.
