US Supreme Court justices divided over oil producers' climate liability
Original: Justices divided over climate change case and liability for oil producers
US Supreme Court justices have heard arguments in a climate change case examining whether major oil producers can be held liable for climate-related damages. Reports of the hearing indicate the justices appeared split, with no clear majority emerging on whether such lawsuits should proceed in state courts or be dismissed. The outcome could shape dozens of pending climate liability cases against energy companies across the United States.
Why now: A Supreme Court ruling could determine the future of numerous climate lawsuits against oil companies nationwide.
