Supreme Court to hear Boulder's climate case against Suncor
Original: SCOTUS to hear Boulder's case against Suncor, setting a precedent for climate change cases
The US Supreme Court has agreed to hear the City of Boulder's lawsuit against oil company Suncor, a case the city has pursued for years to hold energy firms financially responsible for climate change damages. The ruling could set a nationwide precedent for whether local governments can sue fossil fuel companies in state courts over climate harms.
Why now: The Supreme Court taking the case could determine the fate of many similar climate liability lawsuits across the country.
