Alabama attorney general at Supreme Court hearing on climate lawsuits
Original: Alabama AG at SCOTUS hearing on local government climate lawsuits
Alabama's attorney general took part in a US Supreme Court hearing examining whether local government climate lawsuits can proceed. The case addresses how municipalities seek damages from energy companies over climate-related harm, a dispute with wide financial and legal consequences. Alabama's involvement reflects the states' stake in limiting or shaping such litigation, and reactions are focusing on how the justices may rule on the cities' claims.
