Boulder's climate lawsuit against oil companies is drawing unexpected support as it reaches the Supreme Court. Ranchers, conservative legal scholars, and former Republican EPA administrators are siding with the Colorado city against ExxonMobil and other energy firms, arguing communities deserve their day in court over climate damages.
