Am I wrong in feeling some hope in this (at least concering US law and the huge effect the country has on the climate as a whole)? It feels like this is... actually something?

It's just one battle won, but it's encouraging to see these cases succeed. They feel like such a long shot when you first hear about them, but I guess it goes to show they're still shots worth taking. I've a lot of respect for the kids who followed through.
