Supreme Court Weighs States' Climate Lawsuits Against Oil Companies
Original: Will the Supreme Court Let States Sue Oil Companies for Climate Harm?
Attention is on whether the US Supreme Court will take up a case deciding if states can sue major oil companies for damages caused by climate change. Several states and cities have filed lawsuits seeking billions from energy companies, and lower courts have largely allowed the claims to proceed. Oil companies argue the cases belong in federal courts, where they stand a better chance of dismissal. A decision on whether the justices intervene could determine the future of climate accountability litigation.
Why now: The Supreme Court is considering whether to hear a case that could reshape climate liability lawsuits against the oil industry.
