Hi friends,
Yesterday was another historic day of trial in Held v. State of Montana!

nd day of trial (Photo by Robin Loznak)

Highlights from Tuesday, June 13th:
The morning kicked off with Judge Seeley hearing testimony from Dr. Cathy W=
hitlock, an earth scientist and professor at Montana State University, who =
is an expert in environmental change and paleoclimatology and was a lead au=
thor of the 2017 Montana Climate Assessment. "Montana has warmed more over =
the last century than other states,=E2=80=9D she stated. =E2=80=9CIt is bec=
ause of our high elevations, which tend to warm faster. We do not have the =
moderating effects of coastal states."
Next up was plaintiff Mica K., who spoke of his love for outdoor activities=
, especially running. He was recently diagnosed with asthma and is especial=
ly vulnerable to wildfire smoke. =E2=80=9CI hope people try to make a diffe=
rence and I hope the state of Montana can change its ways on fossil fuels,=
=E2=80=9D he said.
Following Mica was another expert, Dr. Dan Fagre, a 30-year employee of the=
Department of Interior. Dr. Fagre spoke about Glacier National Park, and t=
he melting of glaciers in the park due to climate change. He explained that=
Montana=E2=80=99s glaciers have existed for 7,000 years, yet many would be=
gone within the plaintiffs=E2=80=99 lifetimes.
When Dr. Fagre=E2=80=99s testimony concluded, plaintiff Badge B. took the s=
tand. Badge shared his love for Montana=E2=80=99s beauty and how he enjoys =
rafting, hunting, fishing, and hiking. He described wildfires threatening h=
is family=E2=80=99s home, and how wildfire smoke means not being able to go=
outside. He called dealing with climate change =E2=80=9Ca now or never sit=
uation.=E2=80=9D
Closing out the day was Dr. Lori Byron, a Montana pediatrician, who discuss=
ed the impacts of climate change on the physical health of children. Dr. By=
ron explained that children are more vulnerable to anthropogenic climate ch=
ange, describing how the health of the youth plaintiffs is already being ha=
rmed in Montana.

The court will conclude testimony from Dr. Byron, then hear from Shane Doyl=
e and Michael Durglo, and youth plaintiffs Sariel and Taleah.

Judge Seeley hearing testimony from Dr. Cathy Whitlock, an earth scientist=
and professor at Montana State University, who is an expert in environment=

Hi friends,
Yesterday was another historic day of trial in Held v. State of Montana!

Highlights from Tuesday, June 13th:
The morning kicked off with Judge Seeley hearing testimony from Dr. Cathy Whitlock, an earth scientist and professor at Montana State University, who is an expert in environmental change and paleoclimatology and was a lead author of the 2017 Montana Climate Assessment. "Montana has warmed more over the last century than other states,” she stated. “It is because of our high elevations, which tend to warm faster. We do not have the moderating effects of coastal states."
Next up was plaintiff Mica K., who spoke of his love for outdoor activities, especially running. He was recently diagnosed with asthma and is especially vulnerable to wildfire smoke. “I hope people try to make a difference and I hope the state of Montana can change its ways on fossil fuels,” he said.
Following Mica was another expert, Dr. Dan Fagre, a 30-year employee of the Department of Interior. Dr. Fagre spoke about Glacier National Park, and the melting of glaciers in the park due to climate change. He explained that Montana’s glaciers have existed for 7,000 years, yet many would be gone within the plaintiffs’ lifetimes.
When Dr. Fagre’s testimony concluded, plaintiff Badge B. took the stand. Badge shared his love for Montana’s beauty and how he enjoys rafting, hunting, fishing, and hiking. He described wildfires threatening his family’s home, and how wildfire smoke means not being able to go outside. He called dealing with climate change “a now or never situation.”
Closing out the day was Dr. Lori Byron, a Montana pediatrician, who discussed the impacts of climate change on the physical health of children. Dr. Byron explained that children are more vulnerable to anthropogenic climate change, describing how the health of the youth plaintiffs is already being harmed in Montana.

Here’s what we anticipate for Wednesday, June 14th:
The court will conclude testimony from Dr. Byron, then hear from Shane Doyle and Michael Durglo, and youth plaintiffs Sariel and Taleah.

Hi friends,
Yesterday was another historic day of trial in Held v. State of Montana!

Highlights from Tuesday, June 13th:
The morning kicked off with Judge Seeley hearing testimony from Dr. Cathy Whitlock, an earth scientist and professor at Montana State University, who is an expert in environmental change and paleoclimatology and was a lead author of the 2017 Montana Climate Assessment. "Montana has warmed more over the last century than other states,” she stated. “It is because of our high elevations, which tend to warm faster. We do not have the moderating effects of coastal states."
Next up was plaintiff Mica K., who spoke of his love for outdoor activities, especially running. He was recently diagnosed with asthma and is especially vulnerable to wildfire smoke. “I hope people try to make a difference and I hope the state of Montana can change its ways on fossil fuels,” he said.
Following Mica was another expert, Dr. Dan Fagre, a 30-year employee of the Department of Interior. Dr. Fagre spoke about Glacier National Park, and the melting of glaciers in the park due to climate change. He explained that Montana’s glaciers have existed for 7,000 years, yet many would be gone within the plaintiffs’ lifetimes.
When Dr. Fagre’s testimony concluded, plaintiff Badge B. took the stand. Badge shared his love for Montana’s beauty and how he enjoys rafting, hunting, fishing, and hiking. He described wildfires threatening his family’s home, and how wildfire smoke means not being able to go outside. He called dealing with climate change “a now or never situation.”
Closing out the day was Dr. Lori Byron, a Montana pediatrician, who discussed the impacts of climate change on the physical health of children. Dr. Byron explained that children are more vulnerable to anthropogenic climate change, describing how the health of the youth plaintiffs is already being harmed in Montana.

Here’s what we anticipate for Wednesday, June 14th:
The court will conclude testimony from Dr. Byron, then hear from Shane Doyle and Michael Durglo, and youth plaintiffs Sariel and Taleah.
