A little-known judicial advocacy organization funded by left-wing nonprofits is quietly training judges nationwide on preparing for cases related to climate change, according to a Fox News Digital review.

The Washington, D.C.-based Environmental Law Institute (ELI) created the Climate Judiciary Project (CJP) in 2018, establishing a first-of-its-kind resource to provide “reliable, up-to-date information” about climate change litigation, according to the group. The project’s reach has extended to various state and federal courts, including powerful appellate courts, and comes as various cities and states pursue high-profile litigation against the oil industry.

“As the body of climate litigation grows, judges must consider complex scientific and legal questions, many of which are developing rapidly,” CJP states on its website. “To address these issues, the Climate Judiciary Project of the Environmental Law Institute is collaborating with leading national judicial education institutions to meet judges’ need for basic familiarity with climate science methods and concepts.” […]

In 2022, the Environmental Law Institute said it led 80 events, ranging from conferences, policy forums and boot camps on topics that included climate change, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, decarbonization, the Endangered Species Act, energy law, environmental criminal enforcement, environmental justice and ESG (environmental, social and corporate governance). …

If Cankles had won in 2016, we’d be totally screwed right now.

If she had won, all your jobs would have been completed by the foreigner, as unlimited amounts of immigrants could be brought to America as long as they were given jobs.

Isn’t judge tampering worse than jury tampering?

The Global Warming/Climate Change non-profit lobby has spent $1 billion in 2023 influencing the news media, teachers, professors, speakers, rallies, non-violent civil disobedience, etc.

The Seattle News has a front page Climate story, with a Washington state hook, at least once a week.

Why is the Republican Party not tracking the money and revealing the donors and making this an election issue in 2024?

Our political organization is so pitiful.

We can hope for one judge to hear a case where computer model data are used as evidence and the judge orders the envirowackos to change their model to match real data.

This is not the study of law, this is the propagation of radical theology. Because environmentalism is much more of a cult than with any basis in science, different rules apply, much like the kind of “law” that comes out of Islam.

Sharia “law” is whatever best benefits the imams and ayatollahs in their administration of a command-and-control authoritarian regime. Highly flexible in its interpretation, the very meanings of the words used in stating the “law” change depending on the application.

Example: “Let not one drop of strong drink pass these lips.” This prohibition is bypassed easily by the dipping of the pinkie finger into the freshly poured shot of whiskey, holding that finger off to the side until one drop of the whiskey falls to the floor, then the remainder of the shot may be consumed with a “clear conscience”. Allah is not offended.

In a similar manner, if “n” number of trees are planted, the excessive consumption of carbon-based fuels is excused. Gaia is not offended.

Know your enemy: For the perfect personification of the Swamp, check the ELI Board of Directors. It is composed of east and west coast elites, the top law firms, some university lowlifes, and representatives from Walmart, BNSF Railways, dePont, Toyota.

This is not really about climate. It’s just a money and power grab.

I can’t wait for a Federal judge to issue a nationwide order banning ICE cars and trucks.

The “climate change” scam is to make rich folks richer and get everybody else powerless and poor.

“The issue is not the issue. The revolution is the issue.”

That want more for themselves and they want it now.
