Supreme Court to weigh oil companies' climate liability
Original: Supreme Court to weigh whether oil companies can be forced to pay for climate damage
The US Supreme Court has agreed to take up the question of whether major oil companies can be compelled to pay for damage caused by climate change. The case stems from lawsuits by states and municipalities seeking damages from energy companies. A ruling could reshape who bears the financial cost of climate impacts across the country.
Why now: The Supreme Court's decision to hear the case could settle whether oil companies face nationwide liability for climate damage.
