Climate

Patriotwise - A climate-education program backed by a Washington nonprofit has quietly trained more than 2,000 American judges while a new national security report accuses it of advancing Communist China’s energy agenda.

A report says the Environmental Law Institute’s Climate Judiciary Project has trained over 2,000 U.S. judges on climate and energy law.

National security analysts claim the group’s work helps constrain American energy producers while lining up with Chinese strategic interests. Senate and House Republicans are demanding investigations into alileged foreign influence and ideological bias in judicial trainings.

The Environmental Law Institute insists its climate curriculum is neutral, science-based education and denies telling judges how to rule.
