'Interpretation of the law is built on precedent. Climate change, much like Donald Trump, is unprecedented,' writes justinworland

So instead of lingering on Trump, I’m going to use this week’s newsletter to explore why the law has been so slow to recognize climate change and the growing efforts to make climate a part of legal considerations.

Updating these laws to explicitly incorporate climate change is not likely in today’s divided Washington. That’s where a new crop of activists and lawyers come in. In recent years, a growing group has sought to push the envelope with litigation that seeks to infuse climate into how we interpret existing laws. They’re doing this by filing hundreds of climate-related claims in state and federal courts using existing law with no obvious connection to climate.
