Unsurprisingly, climate attribution science is under attack. "An emerging field of research that can measure how much climate change has worsened individual disasters is under attack by friends of the fossil fuel industry. Billions of dollars are at stake." https://www.politico.com/news/2026/06/11/fossil-fuels-national-academies-climate-science-00897237

"In 2019 we saw a glimpse of what is possible when science and law do work together. Dutch courts ordered the Netherlands government to do more to meet the state’s emissions targets, relying in part on scientific evidence. So, the legal architecture is not missing. What is missing is the mechanism that connects climate science to legal enforcement in real time. Bringing modellers and lawmakers into the same room could make this the rule, rather than the exception." https://theconversation.com/climate-law-expert-europes-deadly-heatwaves-belong-in-court-286674
