Blue-state Attorneys General are attempting to gain an advantage in hopes of rigging the courts against American energy.

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.”

The section was originally removed following concerns over deep conflicts of interest, biased information, and concerns it “would tip the scales in favor of left-leaning policies that would be the final nail in the coffin of American-produced energy,” 27 attorneys general previously wrote, warning FJC about the implications of the chapter. One week later, the FJC announced it would not be including the section in its most recent manual.

Congress established the Federal Judicial Center (FJC) as a nonprofit organization funded by taxpayers, with the purpose of providing courts with guidance on complex scientific matters. Each year, the FJC releases a reference manual that addresses a range of scientific topics relevant to legal proceedings and is supposed to be neutral.

Reinstating the language would essentially reinstate leftist talking points that would make it easier for Democrat AG’s and leftist NGO’s involved in lawfare to justify their heightened litigation as of late based on human-caused climate change.

This will make the Left’s lawfare even worse and they will use it to shake down or even bankrupt energy producers, that will hike energy prices, while penalizing Red states.

A good way to stop this would be for Republicans to pass the Stop Climate Shakedowns Act which will ensure judicial neutrality.
