Judge strikes down New York's Climate Change Superfund Act
Original: Judge strikes down New York’s Climate Change Superfund Act
A federal judge has struck down New York's Climate Change Superfund Act, the law that would have required large fossil fuel companies to pay billions for climate adaptation costs in the state. The ruling is a setback for climate accountability advocates, while opponents of the law welcomed the decision. The full reasoning behind the ruling was not provided in the available coverage.
Why now: The court ruling against a major climate law has immediate implications for climate policy and polluter-pays efforts in New York and beyond.
