Gill speaks to Maine Public about Montana climate decision
Maine Public interviewed Jacquelyn Gill, associate professor of paleoecology & plant ecology with the University of Maine School of Biology and Ecology and Climate Change Institute, about a Montana case where the judge sided with 16 young plaintiffs in their landmark court case against the state over its climate policies. “They are getting inroads into changing policy and in this case, we have a successful lawsuit here, where other efforts have either failed or stalled out before they even got off the ground,” Gill said.
