AI Summary
The Federal Judicial Center has removed a chapter on climate change from its official manual for U.S. judges. The chapter, which provided information on the science and impacts of climate change, was part of the center's 2020 guide for judges on environmental law. The removal of the chapter comes after the center received pressure from Republican lawmakers. The lawmakers had expressed concerns that the chapter was biased and did not provide a balanced view of the issue. The implications of this move are unclear, but it suggests that the Federal Judicial Center is responding to external pressure rather than relying on scientific evidence.
