Episode notes

There's rallies planned, I think, every single day after the trial by climate groups and different environmental groups. We are a relatively conservative state that's been passing some of these fossil fuel laws. So we'll really be watching to see if this has an effect on any of the other actions that have been filed.

Held v. Montana, a first-of-its-kind climate lawsuit, pits young people — and their constitutionally enshrined right to a clean environment — against a state with pro-fossil fuel policies.

This episode was produced by Avishay Artsy, edited by Amina Al-Sadi, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Michael Raphael, and hosted by Noel King. Today’s episode was also produced in partnership with the team who make Vox’s The Weeds podcast, Sofi LaLonde, Cristian Ayala, Anouck Dussaud, A.M. Hall, and Jonquilyn Hill.
