Climate accountability cases seen as unstoppable despite Supreme Court review
Original: # USA # US The simple truth is, the climate accountability genie is out of the bottle, and the Supreme Court is unlikely
Commentators argue that climate accountability efforts in the United States have reached a point of no return, regardless of how the Supreme Court rules in the case involving energy company Suncor. Attribution science, which links emissions to specific damages, continues to advance and close gaps between cause and effect, strengthening lawsuits against fossil fuel companies even if the court sides with industry.
Why now: The Supreme Court is weighing a case with major implications for climate lawsuits against fossil fuel companies.
