A science designed for climate litigation to advance the La Jolla lawfare strategy has sucked all the academic and judicial integrity out of the room.
- no transparency
- conflicts of interest
- biased activist science
The House Committee on the Judiciary slams ELI/CJP
Now what?
The Climate Judiciary Project indoctrinates judges to believe climate attribution is a fact. A House Committee charges them with rigging the judiciary.
Foundation money, bent academics, political activists... @zaruk weaves the usual elements into a scandal

What's the difference between "House is on fire Greta", "Free Palestine Greta" or "French students fighting a violent system Greta"?
Controling the media is easier when you have millions from groups like the European Climate Foundation running your show.

Eight EU health ministers think they can ban innovation and still promote tobacco control.
Their letter to the EU Commissioner must have been written by a health NGO. It went on a rant against some "nicotine industry".
This isn't responsible behaviour.

As a company owner and businesswoman, Naomi Oreskes has demonstrated her performance is not really very good.
Capitalism does not reward someone on ego alone and unlike the Rockefeller Foundation, does not simply mean signing a contract and picking up a check.
I know it's hard!
In entering the corporate world, Naomi Oreskes now has to learn that the quality of her work matters.
Unlike the academe, she can't just pass the work down to some assistant (and then blame them).
And unlike her entire career, evidence and insight matter.

One of America's most hated academics is also one of its most sensational hypocrites.
After a career of attacking researchers who worked with industry, Naomi Oreskes created a company to profit from perhaps America's worst industry.
My latest: thefirebreak.org/p/naomi-ore…
Naomi Oreskes is running a company catering to the US litigation industry. I looked at how she is doing.
"For this anti-capitalist activist, campaigning against greed and unethical behavior in the corporate world, Naomi seems to be a natural at manipulation and exploitation."
Naomi Oreskes has created a company: Grenville Science Consulting. After a career attacking researchers who took corporate or special interest funding, she is now shilling for the litigation industry.
It seems though that Naomi hasn't been very good at it.

My latest column in @clearingthe_air looks at the deep divisions in the EU over the #TobaccoProductsDirective.
19/27 member states rejected the hard line on tobacco harm reduction products
It will only anger EU citizens, isolate Brussels and help the Eurosceptic extremist parties
Eight EU health ministers want nicotine pouch bans, flavour restrictions and a market freeze. The other 19 haven’t signed their letter.
David @zaruk on the isolated bloc trying to turn its hardline demands into EU policy.

In a recent article on how Bloomberg's State Impact Center vanished, I predicted they would just resurface in another school.
Sure enough, a month later, the 7 staffers 2 leads have been hired by a tiny Vermont law school (34 Masters or LLM students).

As more and more emails show collusion between the law professors, foundation funders and Predatorts, this scandal risks destroying NASEM. Heads will have to roll.
#NASEMgate
17 years ago #Climategate shook the climate research world. But that was only about cherrypicking data.
Today, #NASEMgate involves influence from foundation billions, litigation industry greed, COIs and political bias.
Oh yeah, and even worse cherrypicking

One big deception foundation-funded NGOs have pulled off is that vaping flavours are designed to attract youth.
Nobody would eat a meal with no taste, so why do that to people trying to quit smoking?
In the EU #TPD consultation, many said flavours matter.

"What is needed is science-led litigation. What the National Academies have delivered is litigation-led science. The scandal has caused a crisis in public trust."
The National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine have suffered 2 scandals in the last year driven by a climate attribution cabal of 5 organizations funded by foundations to advance climate lawfare.
This is worse than the 2009 Climategate crisis.

The EU revision of the Tobacco Products Directive is not only a challenge to find a compromise between foundation-funded health zealots and tobacco harm reduction advocates. It's a battle for the public trust in the EU
Sébastien's contribution said it best

My latest column in @clearingthe_air looks at many of the EU #TPD consultations contributions.
The 120,000 lived experiences almost all contradict the EU policy proposals.
These aren't tobacco industry shills. These are ex-smokers able to quit with vaping, flavours and access.
Who gets to count as a legitimate voice in EU nicotine policy?
@zaruk challenges the dismissal of former smokers as industry mouthpieces, and examines the experiences they submitted to Brussels.

I know these are zealots.
I know Bloomberg's generals will do anything to win.
I know as philanthropists, they're unregulated, with no demand for transparency or accountability.
But doesn't integrity matter at all to these foundations?

"What we find here is less than innocent. Michael Bloomberg made a donation to NYU to act as the fiscal sponsor to the State Impact Center that then paid his people to operate within the AG offices in 11 states to influence the agenda and implement his climate lawfare strategy."
Bloomberg funded the State Impact Center to have fellows appointed to state Attorneys General, paying their salaries to prosecute energy providers.
NYU was the fiscal sponsor.
Under investigation, last month, the Center just vanished.
It never existed.

The World Weather Attribution organisation doesn't feel "statistical significance" matters in concluding that weather events were caused by climate change.
If the climate science community is to be respected, it has to be responsible in its conclusions.

It's incredible that a comms firm taking in $21 million a year from foundations to make graphics is only considered in a postscript.
After seeing billions flow into these campaign groups, I've become numb to the dumb money these philanthropists' consultants are burning through.
@ClimateCentral is a communications firm producing graphics and documents for media reporting on climate and weather events.
They manage the World Weather Attribution organization.
In a world of foundation funding of climate campaigns, they are well-funded

The only way to understand why climate attribution scientists distort data, manipulate models, ignore all variables and mangle risk management practices is if you assume this new scientific field only exists to serve the US litigation industry and political activists.
My latest
What if you design a scientific methodology where your conclusions will always align with your special interests?
In Pt 2, @zaruk shows how the field of climate attribution science links all weather events to climate change and to the fossil fuel industry.

I am now getting AI spam.
The agent pulled out a paper I published some five years ago on agroecology in Outlook on Agriculture, summarized it into an invitation to submit a manuscript tied to a conference around that very theme (with my ten concluding points).
One of Michael Bloomberg's climate lawfare groups, based in NYU, was facing investigation for paying special assistants in State AG offices
So like rats in the dark of night, this $6 million project pulled up stakes and fled
Should @MikeBloomberg be held liable for their actions?
