So this would be a worthwhile case if a youthful physicist was bringing the complaint?

As per the article, they are arguing that seniors are particularly affected by climate change due to heat waves, and these are causing deaths.

The 2022 heatwaves had hundreds of deaths attributed to climate change in Switzerland: https://lenews.ch/2023/07/08/climate-change-behind-60-percen...

The issue with people dying from heat waves has nothing to do with climate change.

The issue is that Switzerland outlawed air conditioning for private homes (still allowed in shopping centres though!)

Show me that law, because as far as I can tell, that's complete nonsense.

I know of a bunch of people who legally purchased and installed aircon in their homes.
