Because that would be fucking weird.

While technically correct,

I'm old enough to remember when we were all gonna get cancer and die by being fried with UV rays because we were making huge holes in the ozone by dumping metric fucktons of CFCs into the atmosphere. I also remember there being a huge push that we stop doing the thing that was causing the problem, you know before we all die from cancer.

Saving the ozone, and therefore climate wasn't in the constitution then either, but we (at least as far as the US's involvement) did it because it was the right goddamn thing to do.

We shouldn't have to have children essentially begging the government to make decisions to protect their future. Who keeps electing these assholes?

We need to handle this carefully. I feel martyr vibes coming from all of this bullshit if he is found guilty. Maybe it's the part of the US I live in, and the political slant of the people therein, but I see him and his supporters using this to do something even more epically stupid than trying to invade the capital.
