Supreme Court to weigh Boulder wildfire climate lawsuit
Original: Supreme Court to consider Boulder wildfire climate-change lawsuit
The US Supreme Court is set to take up a lawsuit filed by the city of Boulder, Colorado, seeking damages from energy companies over wildfire costs the city attributes to climate change. The case could determine whether local governments can pursue fossil fuel firms in state courts for climate-related harms, a question other US cities and counties are watching closely.
Why now: The justices' decision to hear the case could reshape how climate liability lawsuits proceed across the United States.
