Supreme Court skeptical of state climate suits against oil companies
Original: Supreme Court sounds wary of state-based climate change suits against oil producers
The US Supreme Court has heard arguments in a case challenging state-level lawsuits against major oil producers over climate change damages, and the justices sounded wary of allowing those suits to proceed. The cases, brought by states seeking to hold energy companies accountable for climate harm, could reshape whether such litigation moves forward in state courts.
Why now: The ruling could determine the fate of numerous state climate liability lawsuits against the fossil fuel industry.
