🤯🤯🤯 Full-on denial of reality. State capture by the fossil fuel lobby. The US descends into a banana republic. It would almost be funny if the consequences wouldn’t be so dire for billions of humans, if the courts don’t stop this folly soon.

Fearing that educated judges might rule on climate cases, Republican Attorneys General successfully bullied the The Federal Judicial Center (the education & research arm of the federal court system) into removing a chapter summarizing climate science from their scientific judicial reference manual.
