The recent canceling of NorthWestern Energy's gas plant permit near Laurel, Montana, is one example demonstrating how the attitudes relating to climate change are shifting, even here in Montana. Climate change is becoming a worldwide issue as the impacts continue to be felt, and people are beginning to take notice. The passing of the annual 406 Day in Montana shows how Montanans care about our vast public lands, and how important the fight is to protect them.

Universities, including Montana State University, hold a lot of power when it comes to fighting the climate crisis. Some universities, like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Arizona State University (ASU), and Northern Arizona University (NAU) continue pushing their students to become more involved and create relevant solutions. By advocating for more policy, curriculum, and societal changes, these universities are strong proponents for their students to push for change.

Students, however, need to take matters into their own hands despite being overstressed and overworked. Recently, the tides have changed, as students at universities across the world are beginning to advocate for institutional change. At MIT, students and community members are rallying for net-zero emissions by 2026. Additionally, with undergraduate enrollment nearing 75,000 students, ASU pledged to reach zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2025. At NAU, students supported a "Green Fund," which helped start and fund over 80 sustainability-related projects across campus. Despite these achievements, there is a need for widespread student involvement to advance this fight.

Rules for thee not for we.  

I’m sure all the very smart college students are very committed to this…

And they will be first in line to protest when food becomes too expensive…and the evil landlords raise the rent for no reason.

Reading ‘The Cultural Revolution’ now…the last book in a series about Moaist China…what we are seeing now is a straight up communist movement.  The current crop of commies aren’t evening being subtle about it.  The price of leftoids taking the education system is bearing fruit.  I was never taught how the communists came to power…what methods they used.  We’re seeing it.

Absolutely correct. This state, along with a band of other inter-mountain, midwest and some southern states needs to be ready to go our own way from the shell of the once United States. Alberta, Sask and a large portion of BC can come along as well if they so choose. We’ll march on Seattle on a Monday morning to secure a deep water port
