Supreme Court signals skepticism toward state climate suits against oil companies
Original: Supreme Court sounds wary of state-based climate change suits against oil producers
The US Supreme Court heard arguments suggesting a wary stance on state-level lawsuits seeking to hold oil producers liable for climate change damages. Justices' questioning indicated concern about states using courts to regulate emissions or extract compensation from energy companies, a outcome that could shape dozens of pending climate liability cases brought by states and municipalities across the country.
Why now: The Court's apparent skepticism could determine the fate of numerous state and local climate liability lawsuits against the oil industry.
