Supreme Court urged to curb climate litigation
Original: POINT: The Supreme Court must draw the line on climate litigation
An opinion piece argues that the US Supreme Court should step in and set clear limits on climate-related lawsuits, which have increasingly been used to hold companies and governments accountable for emissions. The author contends that courts are being asked to make policy decisions that belong to legislators, and calls on the justices to draw a firm line on the reach of climate litigation.
Why now: Ongoing climate lawsuits against companies and governments are prompting debate over the courts' proper role.
