Supreme Court to weigh climate liability suit against energy companies
Original: Supreme Court to consider whether suit may go forward seeking to hold energy companies liable for climate change
The US Supreme Court has agreed to consider whether a lawsuit seeking to hold major energy companies financially liable for climate change can proceed. The case tests whether claims brought by states and municipalities against oil and gas producers belong in state courts or should be dismissed. A ruling could determine the fate of numerous climate damages suits pending across the country.
Why now: The Court's decision to take up the case could decide the future of climate litigation against energy companies nationwide.
