Opinion: These Montana kids are right about climate change, intergenerational justice, and fossil-fuel friendly policies

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:51:37 GMT

How significant is the youth-led constitutional climate trial in Montana and what are its implications?As the first-ever trial in the U.S. in a climate change lawsuit, Held v. Montana, set for June 12-23, is historic. Plaintiffs — 16 young Montanans — sued the state over its energy policies claiming the state’s actions have violated their constitutional right.The right they claim is the right to “a clean and healthful environment” as mandated by the Constitution of Montana, which reads: “The state and each person shall maintain and improve a clean and healthful environment in Montana for present and future generations.” They argue that the state government supports, promotes, and prioritizes fossil fuels, impacting climate change and disproportionately harming them. Instead of seeking monetary damages, they are asking the court to declare that Montana’s fossil fuel energy policies and actions violate their state constitutional rights.For example, the state energy p...

“Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” just doesn’t crack the whip | Review

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:51:37 GMT

“Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” debuted in May at the Cannes Film Festival, where it received what could kindly be described as a tepid response from critics.Based on a recent advanced screening of the fifth and, supposedly, final film in the beloved series dating to 1981’s “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” it’s pretty easy to say “Dial” isn’t some horrendous “Indiana Jones” adventure.But, alas, it isn’t a particularly strong one, either.It’s as if talented filmmaker James Mangold — taking the reins from franchise director Steven Spielberg — set out to make a convincing forgery of an “Indiana Jones.”Aside from Spielberg, all the requisite ingredients are there, from Harrison Ford in the titular role — wearing his leather jacket and fedora and occasionally cracking that iconic whip — to an archeological treasure to scheming Nazis to one last rousing score from the great John Williams.And yet the affair constantly feels a little off, starting with the action-packed ...
