Supreme Court case could force oil firms to pay climate damages
Original: Supreme Court case could make big oil pay for climate change damages
A case before the US Supreme Court could open the way for major oil companies to be held financially liable for damages caused by climate change. If the court allows climate-related lawsuits to proceed, states and local governments could seek billions in compensation from fossil fuel producers. The outcome is being closely watched because it would shape who ultimately pays for the costs of rising seas, wildfires and extreme weather.
Why now: A pending Supreme Court decision could establish legal liability for oil companies over climate change damages.
