A precedent-setting global warming lawsuit will advance to a District Court judge in Oregon, thanks to 21 young Americans, ages 8 to 19.*

Magistrate Judge Thomas Coffin found that the plaintiff's case is "unprecedented" but that it has merit and should proceed, rather than being tossed out of court like many other climate-related lawsuits have been.
