Supreme Court weighs oil companies' bid to end climate lawsuit
Original: US Supreme Court wrestles with oil companies' bid to scuttle climate lawsuit
The US Supreme Court heard arguments over oil companies' request to throw out a climate lawsuit brought against them, with justices appearing divided on whether the case should proceed in state court. The dispute is part of a broader wave of litigation by states and municipalities seeking to hold fossil fuel companies financially liable for climate change damage.
Why now: The outcome could shape whether major climate liability cases against the oil industry can move forward in US courts.
