Young environmental activists prevail in first-of-its-kind climate change trial in Montana

apnews.com

Young environmental activists scored a ground-breaking legal victory when a Montana judge said state agencies were violating their constitutional right to a clean environment by allowing fossil fuel development without considering its effects on climate change.

Am I wrong in feeling some hope in this (at least concering US law and the huge effect the country has on the climate as a whole)? It feels like this is… actually something?
