Judicial Body Removes Climate Science Guidance After Republican Complaints
A judicial body responsible for providing guidance to federal judges has removed all climate-related content from an advisory document after facing pressure from Republican lawmakers. The document was originally designed to help judges navigate complex scientific issues that arise in legal proceedings.
The decision to strip the climate science guidance has drawn criticism from legal and scientific communities who argue that judges increasingly need reliable information on climate-related matters as environmental litigation grows. The move reflects the broader political tensions surrounding climate science and its role in government institutions, with Republicans viewing such guidance as politically biased rather than scientifically grounded.
