Original: Supreme Court weighs Boulder climate change lawsuit against oil and gas companies for climate change
The US Supreme Court is weighing a lawsuit brought by the city of Boulder, Colorado, against oil and gas companies seeking to hold them financially responsible for climate change impacts. The case could shape whether municipalities can pursue major fossil fuel producers in state courts for damages tied to rising emissions, with broad implications for similar suits across the country.
Why now: A Supreme Court decision could determine the fate of municipal climate liability lawsuits nationwide.
