This is so alarming you have to know about it and so should everyone else in the UK.

Right now, 6 brave kids are suing 32 European countries for not acting to prevent climate change, including the UK. It’s crazy brave!

So what is the government doing? The UK claims the devastating impacts of climate change the kids are experiencing are not severe enough!! Check out what UK government lawyers just said and then please share this with everyone you know:

“The statements also refer to hot weather “draining energy” or preventing the applicants from playing or exercising outside or making it difficult to sleep (…) But there is no documentary evidence of these alleged impacts (…) let alone any evidence that they have been caused by climate change, as opposed to the normal effects of living in Southern Europe.”
-- UK government’s observations before the European Court of Human Rights in the Duarte Agostinho case.

WHAT!!!

The government goes on…

“The Applicants are not victims of a violation of Article 8 because the matters which they allege (…) have not attained the necessary “level of severity”.”

What the government is saying is that when these young people experience asthma worsened by pollution and heat, heightened and debilitating anxiety, an inability to go to school or play outside because it’s too hot and the air is choked with fire – that is just the normal effect of living in parts of Europe and not severe enough to be a violation of their human rights!!!

If the government won’t protect these kids suing for their rights, they won’t protect any of us from climate change.

We need to make sure everyone in the UK knows about this.
