Scientists Decry Political Attack on Climate Reference Manual

Twenty-eight contributors to the Federal Judicial Center's Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence have signed an open letter condemning the deletion of its climate science chapter as a political attack on judicial independence. The chapter was removed in February after 27 Republican state attorneys general pressured the center to retract it, leaving federal judges without a peer-reviewed resource on climate science at a time when climate litigation is rapidly expanding in U.S. courts. Subscription may be required.
