Knudsen Leads 25 State AGs Seeking To Defund NASEM Over Bias Claims
The Aug. 27 letter targets a NASEM report on extreme weather attribution, the theory underlying lawsuits courts already rejected.
- NASEM published the report, 'Attribution of Extreme Weather and Climate Events,' in July 2026.
- The letter names courts in Maryland, Mississippi and California that rejected the same theory already.
- Knudsen's August EPA letter had already gotten grants to the Climate Judiciary Project canceled.
Why it matters: Public money paid for the paper that plaintiffs' lawyers later cited as neutral science in court.
