I'd be worried the current SCOTUS would just rule that young people have no constitutional rights.

If we get a Democrat administration, they may get their wish.

The problem is that we'll still have a Republican-appointed Supreme Court. It takes more than just electing a Democratic President to change things there; it takes a willing Congress and (maybe) a few justices dropping dead.

It's a case against the government. If it hurts the Dems, the SC might be more interested in it. In all likelihood, they would be looking ahead to cases where they wouldn't want to give precedent to climate protections but just a flippant remark highlighting the corruption of the SC.

Gotta be honest though, it's a dubious premise. It would be a hard thing to argue on a constitutional level.
