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 a request from major oil companies to throw out a climate lawsuit, reportedly brought by Honolulu, seeking to hold them liable for climate-related damages. The justices appeared to wrestle with whether the case belongs in state or federal courts. The outcome could determine whether similar climate liability suits across the United States can proceed against the fossil fuel industry.
Why now: A Supreme Court ruling could decide the fate of numerous climate liability lawsuits against oil companies nationwide.
