The Department of Justice is trying one more time to put a stop to a climate change lawsuit.
The DOJ asked the Supreme Court to put a stay on the case and stop discovery and the impending trial that's set to start Oct. 29.
The government says it's still waiting for decisions on other motions, so the pending trial should be put on hold.
The case stems from a lawsuit filed by 21 young people, arguing the government isn't doing enough to slow climate change.
The plaintiffs argue the lack of action violates their constitutional right to "a climate system capable of sustaining human life." The DOJ says the suit is trying to circumvent the normal political process and use the courts to enact environmental and energy policies.
