Click here to find out moreAt the heart of any climate change trial will be the presentation of scientific evidence concerning responsibility for climate changes alleged to have had cataclysmic adverse effects on our planet. Join William Ruskin, Sheila Woolson and Aime Dempsey, all attorneys at Epstein Becker & Green, P.C., as they focus on the status of the scientific debate in which claims of fraud, spoliation of evidence, and undue influence have become inextricably intertwined with the scientific debate. In addressing key issues about the starting point for an examination of the science and whether the rhetoric can be filtered out of the discussion—or not—our presenters discuss two electrifying Circuit Court of Appeals cases handed down in 2009, Connecticut v. American Electric Power Co., et al., 582 F.3d 309 (2d Cir. 2009) and Comer v. Murphy Oil USA, et al., 585 F.3d 855 (5th Cir. 2009), which may set the stage for this litigation in the years to come.
