A bit of good news out of #Montana, where a state judge has struck down a state law restricting #genderaffirming treatment for #trans youths.
“The Court is forced to conclude that the purported purpose given for S.B. 99 is disingenuous. It seems more likely that the S.B. 99’s purpose is to ban an outcome deemed undesirable by the Montana Legislature veiled as protection for minors.”

"#Wildfire #smoke has slowed or reversed air quality gains made over the last two decades in most of the U.S., new study says
Some states — #Colorado, #Montana, #NewMexico, #Washington and #Wyoming — rolled back 50 percent or more of their progress since 2000. In #Oregon and #Nevada, wildfire smoke has completely erased their gains....
a single day of unhealthy smoke — in the “red” level on the federal government’s color-coded scale — gave the hospitals he was studying in central Oregon a 41 percent chance of exceeding their capacity....
University of Montana toxicologist Christopher Migliaccio tracked residents who lived through that smoke and found they showed significant decreased lung function one and two years afterward..."

A Montana Judge Just Ruled the State’s Constitution Bans New Fossil Fuel Plants
In Montana, young residents just won a lawsuit charging that construction of a new gas power plant was barred by the state constitution. But “pro-climate” President Joe Biden is arguing fiercely against letting the US Supreme Court hear a similar case.
The wording in Article IX, Section 1, of Montana’s constitution couldn’t be clearer: “The state and each person shall maintain and improve a clean and healthful environment in Montana for present and future generations.” Accordingly, in April, a district court judge in Yellowstone County voided a permit for a natural gas–fired power plant under construction there. Over its lifetime, it would have released an estimated twenty-three million tons of planet-roasting carbon dioxide, and that, ruled the judge, was incompatible with a “clean and healthful environment” in Montana or, for that matter, anywhere else.

Teck is a very large Canadian mining company that dumps pollutants into the Elk River which flows into the Kootenai River which flows into Montana. This pollution impacts fish and other wildlife. And the local rodeo association takes monetary donations from Teck to put on rodeos and Bull Thing here in Eureka, MT (7 miles from Canadian border). The guy in charge of the association doesn’t consider it a pay off. And Teck keeps dumping selenium into the water. #Teck #montana #climatecrisis #epa

Buenos días mastonautas! Hoy, como persona aficionada al senderismo, os traigo este artículo.
Habla de cómo se han masificado ciertas rutas de montaña, incluso algunas peligrosas y difíciles como la ruta del Cares en Picos de Europa.
La desconexión, el respirar aire puro, las vistas, la naturaleza... A mí también me encanta todo eso. Pero hay que ser conscientes de nuestra forma física, del tiempo, de ir aprovisionados y bien equipados.
Para disfrutar hay que tener cabeza!
Si estás empezando, haz rutas más fáciles (menos km, menor elevación) primero. Luego ya habrá tiempo de aumentar dificultad.
Hazlas siempre con luz suficiente (lejos de las horas del ocaso, donde no puede volar un helicóptero) y atendiendo al tiempo (evitemos calor-frío intenso, lluvia, nieve...).

"Une juge du Montana, aux États-Unis, a donné raison lundi à 16 jeunes qui accusaient leur État d’enfreindre leur droit constitutionnel à un « environnement propre et sain » en favorisant l’industrie fossile.
Une décision historique dans un pays où le tiers de la population ne croit pas que les changements climatiques sont causés par les activités humaines.
La juge Kathy Seely a déclaré inconstitutionnelle une loi du Montana interdisant aux autorités de prendre en compte les conséquences des émissions de #GES au moment d’accorder ou non des permis à des entreprises d’énergies fossiles.
« Les plaignants ont un droit constitutionnel fondamental à un environnement propre et sain, ce qui inclut le climat...
Les émissions de GES du Montana et le changement climatique se sont avérés être un facteur substantiel des impacts climatiques sur l’environnement du Montana et des dommages et préjudices subis par les jeunes »

Great piece by @petergleick puts this win in perspective.
"The clear acceptance of the facts of #ClimateChange and the strength of climate science will make future attempts in court cases to dismiss climate science untenable. The case provides a roadmap for how to present the science, and clearly establishes the threat of climate harm to humans, future generations, and the environment, which will make it easier to do so in future cases."

Denn:
1. Die Judikative hat keinen Hebel, dieses Urteil politisch umzusetzen;
2. Legislativen & Exekutiven sind mehrheitlich fossilistisch & vor allem: allesamt wachstumsorientiert;
3. Die Ursache der Klimakrise ist fossilkapitalistisches Wachstum.

Montana's constitution guarantees a “clean and healthful environment”. The plantifs argued that a law preventing the state from considering climate impacts of energy projects denied that right.
