Federal court will hold first-ever hearing on climate change science

This ought to be interesting:

WASHINGTON
A federal judge in San Francisco has ordered parties in a landmark global warming lawsuit to hold what could be the first-ever U.S. court hearing on the science of climate change.

The proceeding, scheduled for March 21 by U.S. District Court Judge William Alsup, will feature lawyers for Exxon, BP, Chevron and other oil companies pitted against those for San Francisco and Oakland — California cities that have accused fossil fuel interests of covering up their role in contributing to global warming.

Experts on both sides say Alsup’s call for a climate change “tutorial” is unlike anything they’ve heard of before.


For those of you keeping score, Alsup is the same Judge that blocked Trump from ending the DACA program.
