FIRST ON FOX: <\/strong>A conservative climate policy group is urging House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan<\/a>, R-Ohio, to subpoena records from the Environmental Law Institute’s Climate Judiciary Project as part of an ongoing probe into the influence of climate advocacy groups in climate policy litigation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jason Isaac, CEO of the American Energy Institute, a conservative pro-U.S. energy production policy group, wrote a letter to Jordan last week pointing to evidence from a Sept. 12 Multnomah County v. ExxonMobil et al. court filing that he says suggests “covert coordination and judicial manipulation.”<\/p>\n

“This new evidence raises serious red flags about the credibility of both the so-called science being used in climate lawsuits and the judicial training programs behind the bench,” Isaac told Fox News Digital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Isaac’s letter to Jordan<\/a>, the court filing submitted by Chevron Corporation earlier this month reveals that “one of the plaintiffs\u2019 lead attorneys, Roger Worthington, had undisclosed involvement in at least two so-called scientific studies that the county is presenting as independent, peer-reviewed evidence.”<\/p>\n

One of those studies “acknowledged funding from the Climate Judiciary Project in a draft version, but that disclosure was inexplicably removed from the final publication,” Isaac said in the letter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Earlier drafts of the study, labeled “DO NOT DISTRIBUTE,” were found on Worthington\u2019s law firm website, the letter revealed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the American Energy Institute, the study seeks to “attribute global economic losses from climate change<\/a> to specific oil companies.” The website also included a “pre-publication draft of a CJP judicial training module” with internal editorial comments, according to the letter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Isaac told Jordan this mark-up raises “serious questions about how and why a plaintiffs\u2019 attorney had early access to, and possibly editorial influence over, materials being presented to state and federal judges as \u2018neutral\u2019 science.”<\/p>\n

Another module was designed to “educate” participant judges on how to apply “attribution science” in the courtroom, according to Isaac.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Attribution science seeks to measure how much human-caused climate change is responsible for certain extreme weather events, per Science News Explores’ definition<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The Environmental Law Institute has claimed neutrality, yet documents suggest coordination with plaintiffs\u2019 counsel who stand to profit from the outcomes,” Isaac told Fox News Digital.<\/a> “If the same lawyers suing energy companies are shaping the studies and educating the judges, that is not justice; it is manipulation. Congress is right to dig deeper, and the American Energy Institute is proud to support that effort.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Isaac is requesting that Jordan formally request “communications, draft documents, funding agreements, and internal editorial notes related to the scientific studies and CJP curriculum.”<\/p>\n

While commending Jordan’s leadership, Isaac said, “Judges and the public deserve to know whether the courtroom is being quietly shaped by coordinated climate advocacy posing as neutral expertise.”<\/p>\n

Isaac said the Environmental Law Institute and Worthington should answer several questions about their involvement in the studies, including the “judicial education module on attribution science.”<\/p>\n

“Does ELI regularly seek input from plaintiffs\u2019 attorneys on its judicial education modules?” Isaac questioned.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“ELI did not fund the Nature\u00a0study, and the Climate Judiciary Project has not coordinated with Mr. Worthington,” Environmental Law Institute spokesman Nick Collins told Fox News Digital in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“CJP does\u00a0not participate in or provide support for litigation,” Collins added. “Rather,\u00a0CJP provides evidence-based continuing education to judges about climate science and how it arises in the law. Our curriculum is fact-based and science-first, grounded in consensus reports and developed with a robust peer\u00a0review\u00a0process that meets the highest scholarly standards.”<\/p>\n

When 23 Republican state attorneys general sent a letter last month to Environmental Protection Agency chief Lee Zeldin<\/u><\/a> calling on him to cancel funding to the Environmental Law Institute, Collins told Fox News Digital that the Climate Judiciary Project’s projects are far from “radical.”<\/p>\n

“The programs in which the Climate Judiciary Project (CJP) participates are no different than other judicial education programs, providing evidence-based training on legal and scientific topics that judges voluntarily choose to attend,” Collins said.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has reached out to Jordan and Worthington for comment on the letter but did not immediately hear back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
