US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has recused himself from a case that could determine the fate of climate lawsuits against major oil companies. The case could lead to the dismissal of state and municipal suits seeking damages from oil firms over climate change harms. With Alito stepping aside, only eight justices will weigh the matter, raising the possibility of a split decision.
