Climate Lawsuits in Montana

Climate Law
Will Montana update its climate law for President Trump?
President Trump has embarked on political path that needs climate truth for its justification. By contrast, Montana has rejected climate truth and has agreed with the Democrats on climate in Held v Montana. The Montana 2025 legislature has one opportunity to show that Montana supports what Trump is doing. That is to approve LC2205. Montana’s

How you can save Montana and win your next election
Ed Berry, PhD, Theoretical Physics, CCM If you are an elected or formerly elected Montana Republican, you will soon make a critical YES/NO decision that can affect Montana and your reelection.

Montana Republicans lost Held v Montana
Ed Berry, PhD, Theoretical Physics, CCM On August 14, 2023, Montana Republicans lost the Held v Montana (HvM) climate lawsuit, as I said they would since June 2022, based upon how AG Knudsen was failing to prepare to defend HvM. The judge did not make a biased decision, as AG Knudsen now clams. The judge
Montana AG and Gov betray conservatives
Ed Berry, PhD, Theoretical Physics, CCM Montana’s elected Republicans rearrange their deck chairs unaware their Titanic is about to hit an iceberg. Montana’s Republicans are about to lose the Held v Montana (HvM) climate lawsuit when its trial begins on June 12. Our Childrens’ Trust filed HvM and similar climate lawsuits in several states. They
AG Knudsen is letting Dems steal Montana
by Ed Berry, PhD, Theoretical Physics When Democrats win Held v Montana (HvM) here’s what will happen: At my own expense, I defeated this lawsuit in 2011 when it was a Petition in Montana’s Supreme Court. I thereby saved Montana billions of dollars and set a legal precedent that Montana courts cannot assume human CO2
The last Earth Day
by Ed Berry, PhD, Theoretical Physics, CCM But for Montana’s far-right, April 22, 2022, would have been the last Earth Day that assumes human carbon dioxide causes dangerous climate change. Montana’s far-right “hate voters” are now losing a climate change lawsuit that will cost Montana a billion dollars per year thereafter. Our Children’s Trust (OCT)
Montana Supreme Court rejects the Global Warming petition by Our Children’s Trust
“This establishes once and for all, at least as far as Montana law is concerned, climate science is decidedly not settled.” – Attorney Quentin Rhoades Barhaugh v. Montana: Petition for Original Jurisdiction The Petition is based on its claims (highlighted) that human carbon emissions cause bad things to happen. They quote flaming alarmists for their

Climate and the Constitution
From Harrison H. Schmitt’s “Climate and the Constitution, Parts 1, 2, 3” [Note by Dr. Ed Berry: Senator Schmitt wrote three articles that discuss climate and the constitution. To make it easier for you to follow his three articles, I summarize them here. The numbers throughout the text are the references he has cited in
National Academy has Conflict Of Interests In Study Of Global Climate Change
by Harrison Schmitt Extraordinarily complex natural processes underlie changes in the Earth’s climate. They represent decadal to millennial to epochal variations in weather patterns as nature continuously attempts to compensate for solar heating imbalances in and between the atmosphere, oceans, and landmasses. Note: This Release is the second in a series on climate change and
President and Congress Stagnate Economy with Unconstitutional Actions
by Harrison H. Schmitt The provisions of the Constitution of the United States contain everything necessary to perpetuate liberty and provide economic prosperity in the American Republic. Again, the Founders got it right – their politically myopic heirs in the 21st Century have not. Unconstitutional interference in the mortgage market place brought the U.S. economy
