An 11-year-old boy whose Gold Hill neighborhood burned in the Fourmile Fire has joined with a friend afraid of losing favorite hiking trails and an 18-year-old student with a growing asthmatic condition in a lawsuit against the state for failing to protect the environment.
“Our children and our children’s children will suffer the harms and losses caused by the state’s lack of necessary action,” states the lawsuit, filed with the help of parents and legal experts in Boulder County District Court last week. “A failure to immediately take action to protect and preserve the earth’s climate will cause irreparable harm to plaintiffs.”
You can’t make this stuff up.

Ed Morrissey over at Hot Air weighs in on the general movement, not Boulder in particular. Turns out James Hansen, NASA’s chief climate scientist is “in” on the action.
Chris,
Does Anthony Watts read your blog?

If not, he should — you scooped him!
Kudos…
I seriously doubt he reads my blog. Almost no one reads my blog. 😉 The editorial page editor of the Daily Camera used to stop by fairly consistently but even she's stopped.
I see he's on my blog roll so I must have visited his site in the past, most likely thanks to you. I'll have to visit it more frequently.
Hey, now that didn't take long!
1) “didn't take long” for what?
2) Yeah, WattsUpWithThat is a GREAT blog, especially for anyone interested in the CAGW fraud. It is, after all, the #1 rated science blog in the entire world.
>>> “didn't take long” for what?
No sooner had I typed in the previous comment that the editorial page editor of the Daily Camera used to “stop by” that, you guessed it, she stopped by.
Chris,
To get keep your finger on the pulse of the nuttiest wing of the so-called “Progressive” lunacy, visit DavidAppell.blogspot.com.
Don't expect your comments to be published there (unless you tow the “Progressive” party line). Do expect to laugh (if only to keep from crying).
Chris,
Careful there bucko!
If your local “newspaper” is anything like ours, this editor might be fishing for some excuse to file some frivolous lawsuit. The morons who run our local “newspaper” sue at the drop of a hat.
Fittingly, the General Manager of our local paper is, by his own admission, a convicted felon.
Chris,
You also scooped Greg Gutfeld and his FNC show Red Eye! Very early this morning (3AM Eastern Time), they too opined on this latest example of Boulder stoopidity.
Kudos, again…
Well, it was not much more than luck. For whatever reason I was on the Daily Camera website late in the evening and there it was. It hadn't been posted long when I saw it.
Obviously, once I saw the article I couldn't ignore it!
Chris,
Never-the-less, you demonstrated a keen eye for over the top Boulder stoopidity which what would go on to garner national attention through major outlets.
Ergo, you earned the kudos.
SBVOR,
I graciously accept your complement. Thank you! 🙂
