Supreme Court weighs Boulder's climate lawsuit against oil and gas companies

Original: Supreme Court weighs Boulder’s climate change lawsuit against oil and gas companies

The US Supreme Court is considering the City of Boulder, Colorado's climate change lawsuit against oil and gas companies. Boulder, like other US cities and counties, has sued major energy producers seeking damages for costs tied to climate change. A Supreme Court decision could shape whether such local climate liability cases proceed in state courts or face federal barriers.

Why now: A Supreme Court ruling could set a national precedent for city-level climate liability suits against fossil fuel companies.
