The court is not treating climate change like it is an emergency.
It has been almost 3 years since the lawsuit was filed.

The mear fact that they've come this far and put so much time and dedication into this suit tell me they are very productive. And if they've convinced people to contribute to they're cause is admirable
Here is the reality you don't seem to grasp. A charity (i.e. front for ADULT green zealots - who are more about making a buck off the new green swindle than saving the planet) RECRUITED these kids as a front for this lawsuit. These kids aren't raising the money to pay the lawyers, or deciding on the legal, PR, or any other strategy. They have simply been selected as a sympathic face to paint on what would otherwise be seen as a tiresome and silly exercise by the group of adults who are actually behind it. Come so far?! They've come only as far as the strollers in which they are being pushed along!

Or, an old and angry man has been brainwashed by Exxon funded disinformation and he's helping them screw over the planet.

Who is right, one angry old man or an entire generation of scientists and people?
If you think they are right, If you think they have a case and this is a slam dunk? Why are you here frank? Why are you not there beside them, filing a case? this is a numbers game and 8 is better than 7...I have a feeling you know this is bullshit....

That 'seven amazing young Ontarions across the province' assembled
by scumbag climate activists to sue the government are exclusively female.
Hard to believe those scumbags couldn't even find one young man to join
the lawsuit. One of the 7 announced her pronouns to be they/them so perhaps
that one is actually transsexual.I suspect the gender imbalance is intentional.
I think there is a bias that young women are more appealing as climate alarmists
than boys in the light of Greta's success as the attention whore of the century.

That's total speculation you have no idea if these kids were recruited or not. And as far as the new green Swindle as you call it goes,it just make you sound like it's an ignorant GOP politician pandering to an ignorant base. Let me know when you find proof that there is a group of adults who are actually behind this

Read the article. The charity "organized" the suit. That means exactly what I've said it does.

If those kids were not lured into the lawsuit they must have
joined together to sue the government on their own initiative.
Hard to believe 7 out of a provincial population of 14---15 million
is all that is to represent the younger generation.

Seven young people all worthy graduates of Greta Thunberg's
school of attention whoring.
Ohhhh, but when the FreeDumb Convoy pulled their children out of school to take them for that most ridiculous protest for days in Ottawa, where their education was compromised, well that was supposed to be a "Genius Move" by the alt right. We all get your logic!!

The Freedom Convoy didn't pretend that children were leading their movement.

Once again you are making excuses for what these kids had to go through. Wonder why even the cops expressed these concerns:

But government officials and police say an illegal “siege” with car fumes and combustible fuel and that contains extremist elements is no place for kids — and vastly complicates their response to the crisis.
Police are prioritizing the “safest way to have children removed from the area prior to any sort of police action,” interim police chief Steve Bell said Thursday. He called the demonstrations “not a good place for children to be.”
Protesters have vowed to stay. Some have warned — some say threatened — authorities that if they try to intervene, children could get in their way.

No wonder that the appropriate Expression "FreeDumb Convoy", sums up what they were all about!!

By here I mean when your worm food these people and others like them will be successful, productive members of society. Unlike people like you who sit around criticizing and bitching about someone actually trying to make the world better
unfortunately it is not about trying to make the world better
at best it is virtue signalling driven by ignorance

worse is those who believe they get to determine & control others behaviour
Most rational people attempt to influence public policy via the ballot box

You may want to revisit the idea that green energy policy makes the world a better place
Then explain how inflation, food shortages , blackouts and people unable to heat their homes is a better place

productive members of society do not shut down reliable affordable energy
productive members of society do not promote fairy tales of replacing that vital energy with unreliable and unaffordable renewables

you may also consider revisiting who is doing the bitching when uncompromising eco-warriors such as these youths view mankind as evil

Where's the proof
Proof of what? I was surprised only 7 youth (all female)
came forward to sue the government. There should have
been a lot more for them to be representative of their
generation. The lawsuit has been ongoing for 3 years, Surely
it is reasonable to expect other teens to have followed up the
lawsuit before the case is closed if climate change is truly an
emergency to an entire generation. But I guess financial resources
of the adults are too limited to file multiple lawsuits.

Not a proof. It is just very unlikely 'guidance' from
adults was not a part of the kids' decision-making to
sue the government.

What part are you doing? Looks like you don't even consider this matter urgent and of most importance...posting in terb doesn't count as "doing your thing"...

Exposing ignorance of science is doing my part on this board.
Outside of here?
Mind your own business.
