Summary:
Two agencies promised to finance 32 billion dollars over the next 10 years for fossil fuel projects without looking at the environmental effects. The projects were coal plants, oil lines, natural gas in various countries.  The groups won the case and its a major win for global climate change. 

Response:
This is good that these agencies lost this case. It shows that big companies can't avoid the laws protecting the earth. Now hopefully he group can win more cases and use the money to help the climate. This is so helpful to the countries that get polluted because they have no say in the building. It is good to make a strike against big oil and we need more blows against them.
