Original: Court sends mixed signals on whether it will allow state-tort suits seeking to hold energy companies liable for climate change to go forward

The cases, brought by states and municipalities against major oil and gas producers, could shift billions in liability. Justices appeared divided, and the ruling will shape where climate accountability claims can be heard.
Why now: The Supreme Court's decision could determine the fate of dozens of climate liability lawsuits against energy companies.
