Big Oil makes audacious request to Supreme Court
Original: Big Oil has an audacious request for the Supreme Court
Oil industry interests are asking the US Supreme Court to take up a case, a move being described as an audacious attempt to shield fossil fuel companies from climate-related lawsuits. The request comes as cities and states pursue litigation seeking damages for climate harms, and the industry is seeking a ruling that could curtail those claims. Climate advocates warn the outcome could shape the future of climate accountability cases.
Why now: The Supreme Court's decision on whether to hear the case could determine the fate of major climate lawsuits against oil companies.
