In 2018, Victor filed a report as an expert witness on behalf of the federal government in the Juliana v. United States climate case, arguing that in light of other political pressures, the executive branch of the United States government had no control over the timing and rise of emissions from the US production of fossil fuels and that, due to the global nature of the problem, the rise in historical emissions could not be attributed to U.S national action. In 2020, Victor was officially elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, one of the nation's most esteemed honorary societies.
