Opinion: Teaching Climate Science to Judges Is Not Indoctrination

Original: Opinion | Teaching Climate Science to Judges Isn’t Indoctrination

A Wall Street Journal opinion piece argues that educating judges about climate science is legitimate professional training rather than ideological indoctrination. The column defends programs that brief members of the judiciary on the scientific consensus behind climate change, pushing back against critics who claim such instruction biases the courts. It lands amid ongoing legal battles over climate liability and regulation, where judicial understanding of science carries real consequences.

Why now: Climate lawsuits increasingly turn on how well judges understand the science, making judicial education itself politically contested.
