Youth Plaintiffs Win Montana Climate Case, Warming Climate and Children’s Health and more

from Living on Earth · host Living on Earth

Sixteen young plaintiffs have won their suit against the state of Montana over its refusal to protect them from climate change. We explain the unprecedented ruling and where the case could head next. Also, children and adolescents are facing increasing health risks from extreme heat, and a study that looked at heat and pediatric emergency department visits found that black and brown children are especially impacted. And koalas begin life naked and tiny as a jellybean with none of the fur that makes them look so darn cuddly later. The natural history and uncertain future of the beloved koala. -- We offer a full transcript for each show along with photos and links to learn more. Check it out at loe.org.
