The latest edition of the Federal Judicial Center’s “Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence,” which aids judges, has faced criticism for perceived ideological bias, particularly in its climate change section. Critics argue the guide, released this year, leans towards leftist viewpoints, citing contributions from climate advocates like Michael Mann and Jessica Wentz. House Judiciary Committee members are investigating claims that the Environmental Law Institute’s Climate Justice Project attempted to sway judges in climate-related cases. They argue the presence of such contributors in a judicial resource compromises its neutrality. Legal experts have voiced concerns about the guide’s influence on the judiciary, claiming…

Massey’s children, Summer and Malachi, expressed their pain…

Scientist Veerabhadran Ramanathan, who grew up dreaming of the American Dream in southern India, became a pivotal figure in climate science after discovering the significant greenhouse effects of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the 1970s. Despite working as a postdoctoral fellow at NASA, his groundbreaking research on CFCs showed they trap heat far more effectively than carbon dioxide, thus reshaping scientific understanding of global warming. Initially published in 1975, Ramanathan’s findings faced skepticism, but they eventually established that gases beyond CO2 significantly contribute to global warming. This knowledge informed early climate mitigation policies, including the 1987 Montreal Protocol, which banned CFCs due…
