Interesting lawsuit will get dismissed. But the effort, led by an organization called Our Children’s Trust, may lead to a Supreme Court ruling within the next few years.

“On Thursday (Oct. 18), 14 year old Samantha Farb of Lecompton, Kansas, became the latest U.S. youngster to file suit (District Court of Shawnee County) against her State under what’s known as the Public Trust Doctrine. The doctrine rests upon a long-standing legal principle  that requires all branches of government to protect and maintain certain shared resources fundamental for human health and survival.

Samantha’s lawsuit concerns the question of whether or not the State of Kansas has an obligation to protect the atmosphere under the Public Trust Doctrine.”
