Iowa: Brainwashed 13-year-old clogs legal system because she believes the atmosphere needs to be "protected" from trace amounts of carbon dioxide

Amazing Teen Fighting Climate Change in Iowa (Video)

Glori Dei Filippone of Des Moines is 13 years old and she is suing the government for not protecting the atmosphere.

...She’s been working at the Des Moines, Iowa Farmer’s Market since she was eight years old. One day, a blind lady walked up to the stand and picked up an apple. She asked Glori, “Is this an apple?” Glori answered that it was. She then asked if it were red and Glori responded, “Yes.” The blind lady then shared, “It feels very beautiful, I’ll take a bushel.”

It really hit home with Glori how this woman didn’t need to see something to believe it was there. Glori equates this with climate change understanding

...Last year, on Mother’s Day, she filed a petition at the Iowa Department of Natural Resources asking the agency to adopt and implement a Climate Recovery Plan. This plan, based on the best available science, would establish peak global carbon dioxide emissions by 2012, reduce annual carbon dioxide emissions by at least 6 percent every year, and commit to widespread reforestation. The petition was denied (and the Chair scolded her for being vegetarian), so she brought her case to court. The district court judge dismissed the case so she is now heading to the Iowa Supreme Court on appeal.
