Supreme Court Skeptical of Oil Industry Bid to End Climate Lawsuits
Original: Oil Industry’s Bid to Kill Climate Change Lawsuits Faces SCOTUS Skepticism
The Supreme Court appears unconvinced by the oil industry's request to shut down state and local climate change lawsuits seeking damages from major energy companies. Justices showed skepticism toward the industry's argument that the cases should be dismissed, meaning suits from cities and states over climate costs could proceed in state courts, a significant setback for fossil fuel companies fighting liability claims.
Why now: The Supreme Court heard arguments on the oil industry's effort to block climate liability lawsuits, with major implications for the fossil fuel sector.
