Just Another Frivolous Climate Lawsuit

A leftwing judicial influence group is finding the spotlight unwelcome.
The Environmental Law Institute’s Climate Judiciary Project (CJP) brands itself as an objective source for judges interested in climate change issues and has held “educational” events for over 2,000 judges. My organization, the American Energy Institute, recently unveiled CJP’s many ties to far-left climate plaintiffs pushing Green New Deal-type policies by lawsuit.
After treatment in major news pieces and prominent editorials, Environmental Law Institute president Jordan Diamond recently responded with a non-sequitur in the Wall Street Journal.
These essential facts are unrebutted in Mr. Diamond’s letter: CJP takes millions of dollars from the same entities bankrolling climate change cases against energy providers. Activist academics who shape CJP programming also advise the climate plaintiffs on the side or support them in amicus filings. And the “educational materials” themselves skew heavily toward climate plaintiffs, presenting as fact claims that defendants are vigorously disputing in dozens of cases.
