“Of all the cases working their way through the federal court system, none is more interesting or potentially more life-changing than Juliana v. United States.”
– Steve Kroft, 60 Minutes Correspondent
The young people suing the federal government over climate change were featured on the CBS program “60 Minutes” Sunday. The program highlighted the case that was originally filed in Eugene five years ago.
The segment featured Kelsey Juliana of Eugene, who is the lead plaintiff in the case. Program host Steve Kroft asked her why this case is so important.
“This is the climate case.” Juliana told Kroft. “We have everything to lose if we don’t act on climate change right now. My generation and the generations to come.”
