Big Oil asks US Supreme Court to halt climate lawsuits
Original: Facing climate lawsuits, Big Oil again turns to US Supreme Court
Major oil companies are once again asking the US Supreme Court to intervene in a wave of climate-related lawsuits brought by states and municipalities seeking damages for climate change impacts. The companies want the justices to block or limit these cases, arguing they belong in federal rather than state courts. The Supreme Court's decision on whether to hear the dispute could determine the future of dozens of climate liability suits pending across the United States.
Why now: The Supreme Court's pending decision could determine whether climate damages lawsuits against oil companies proceed.
