Supreme Court weighs who pays for climate change
Original: Supreme Court wrestles with who should pay for climate change https:// grist.org/energy/supreme-court -wrestles-with-who
The US Supreme Court is considering a lawsuit filed by Boulder, Colorado, against oil companies ExxonMobil and Suncor seeking compensation for climate-related costs. The justices' decision could determine whether similar cases brought by cities and states across the country can proceed, potentially shaping dozens of climate liability suits against major fossil fuel producers.
Why now: A Supreme Court ruling could decide the fate of many local and state climate liability lawsuits against oil companies.
