US Supreme Court divided over climate liability case against oil producers
Original: Justices divided over climate change case and liability for oil producers
The US Supreme Court heard arguments in a case examining whether major oil producers can be held liable for climate change damages, and the justices appeared split along ideological lines. A ruling could determine whether lawsuits by states and cities seeking billions from energy companies proceed in state courts or are blocked. The outcome would shape the wave of climate litigation pending across the United States.
Why now: The Supreme Court's decision could reshape whether oil companies face massive climate damages lawsuits across the US.
