Second Federal Court Strikes Down New York Climate Superfund Act
Original: Second Federal Court Strikes Down New York’s Climate Change Superfund Act
A second federal court has struck down New York's Climate Change Superfund Act, the state law requiring large fossil fuel companies to pay for climate adaptation costs. The ruling is a significant setback for the law's backers and raises fresh legal questions over states' attempts to make energy producers liable for past emissions.
Why now: A federal court ruling against a high-profile state climate law has immediate legal and policy implications for climate accountability efforts.
