Utterly heartbreaking read, my sincerest condolences to her sister and family. Made all the more heartbreaking by the fact that these stories seem to be getting more and more common.

My reading was that the Judge was saying that, whether the climate crisis existed or not, it was irrelevant to the deliberations. This doesn’t necessarily call into question the existence of a climate crisis or give insight into the judge’s opinions. Still, the convictions in light of the UN report are chilling.
