Biden administration's DOJ joined Trump and Obama admins in blocking lawsuit arguing a livable planet is a constitutional right.
Of course, the effort is also supported by Republicans bankrolled by the fossil fuel industry. Top donors include the oil giant #KochIndustries, the fossil fuel lobby #AmericanPetroleumInstitute, and oil & gas companies #ValeroEnergy & #ExxonMobil
