Supreme Court to hear Boulder's climate liability case
Original: Boulder’s climate case gets its most consequential audience yet: The Supreme Court
The city of Boulder, Colorado's climate lawsuit seeking damages from fossil fuel companies has reached the US Supreme Court, the highest-profile stage yet in its years-long legal fight. The case, which aims to make energy companies pay for climate-related costs, has moved through lower courts, and the justices' decision on whether to hear or intervene could determine the fate of similar municipal climate cases across the country.
Why now: A Supreme Court ruling could set a national precedent for cities suing fossil fuel companies over climate damages.
