Big Oil asks Supreme Court to kill climate lawsuits before trial
Major oil companies have petitioned the US Supreme Court to dismiss state and local climate liability lawsuits before they can go to trial. The suits, brought by cities and states, seek to hold fossil fuel producers financially responsible for climate change damages. The companies argue the cases are improperly trying to regulate emissions through the courts, while plaintiffs say the industry should answer in state court for alleged deception about climate harms.
Why now: The Supreme Court's decision on whether to hear the case could determine the fate of dozens of climate liability lawsuits across the United States.
