After hearing final arguments, the Montana Supreme Court will decide whether recent state law can bar state agencies from considering the effects of climate change.
On Wednesday morning, around 30 people gathered in the Goodworks Place building to watch a streaming presentation of the Montana Supreme Court as the justices heard the state’s appeal of the youth climate change lawsuit Held v. Montana. The 75-minute screening was sponsored by Climate Smart Missoula, Families for a Livable Climate, Montana Environmental Information Center and the Montana Sierra Club.
