Over the years, the National Academy of Sciences has published scientific and analytical guidance especially for use by the federal judicial system. However, this academy was in the hands of extreme left-wing Democrats and, as has now become clear, it published fraudulent, biased, and misleading guidance about climate change. From these fake directives, judges have used them to issue rulings in major cases related to “climate change,” which has caused severe damage across the country. Now these guidelines have been fully discredited. Our federal judges deserve access to facts and science, not political fraud and fabricated science about the climate. With this truth now clarified, I hereby instruct federal officials to investigate this matter, including suspension and barring from contracts. American taxpayers should not have to pay the cost of such climate fraud, and judges should never have relied on such material. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

President Donald J. Trump
