Climate Superfund Act Suffers Another Major Legal Setback
Original: Climate Superfund Act Dealt Another Major Legal Blow
The Climate Superfund Act, which would require large fossil fuel companies to pay for climate damages, has suffered another significant legal defeat. A court ruling has added to mounting legal challenges facing the law, which New Jersey and other states have pursued as a way to make polluters fund climate adaptation. Business groups have welcomed the outcome, while climate advocates warn it could derail state-level climate accountability efforts.
Why now: A fresh court ruling against the law has renewed debate over whether states can make energy companies pay for climate damages.
