US Supreme Court to hear oil industry bid to block climate lawsuits
Original: US supreme court to hear big oil’s bid to block climate damage lawsuits
The US Supreme Court has agreed to hear oil companies' attempt to block state and local lawsuits seeking damages for climate change. The cases, brought by cities and states, argue major producers should pay for costs of rising seas, wildfires and other climate harms. A ruling could decide whether such claims proceed in state courts or are dismissed.
Why now: The Supreme Court taking the case could determine the fate of dozens of climate damage lawsuits against oil companies.
