Attorneys general in blue states across the U.S. are urging the Federal Judicial Center to reinstate its biased “climate science” chapter in the group’s judicial reference manual, failing to mention the signatories are plaintiffs in dozens of consequential climate lawfare cases.

In a letter from earlier this month signed by a coalition of more than two dozen Democratic attorneys general and city legal officers, the group claims the removal undermines the FJC’s purpose, raises concerns over partisan-endorsed censorship, and “harms our judicial system, as judges and litigants are left without impartial, peer-reviewed information on complex and crucial scientific issues.”
