Exxon tells Supreme Court climate lawsuits threaten its profits
Original: Exxon attorney tells SCOTUS that climate lawsuits threaten its bottom line
An attorney for ExxonMobil argued before the US Supreme Court that climate-related lawsuits brought against the oil giant pose a threat to its bottom line. The case touches on whether state and local governments can pursue damages over climate harms in state courts, a question with major consequences for the fossil fuel industry and municipalities seeking compensation.
Why now: The Supreme Court hearing could determine the fate of dozens of climate liability lawsuits against oil companies.
