Original: Judges Keep Striking Down Climate Laws. Some States Are Fighting Back. https:// fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.moth erjones.c
US states facing court setbacks on climate legislation are fighting to keep their laws alive. New York's climate superfund law, which would make fossil fuel companies pay for climate damages, is being challenged, with Suncor among the companies targeted in litigation echoed by a Colorado Supreme Court case brought by Boulder. Reporting outlines how courts keep blocking such laws and how states are responding with new legal strategies.
Why now: New lawsuits over state climate superfund laws are testing whether polluters can be made to pay for climate damages.
