Supreme Court to weigh energy firms' bid to end Boulder climate lawsuit
Original: Supreme Court to weigh energy companies' bid to end Boulder climate-change lawsuit
The US Supreme Court has agreed to consider energy companies' request to shut down the city of Boulder's climate-change lawsuit, which seeks damages from fossil fuel producers for climate-related harms. The case is part of a wider wave of city and state litigation against major oil and gas companies, and the justices' decision could determine whether such suits proceed in state courts.
Why now: The Supreme Court taking up the case could set a national precedent for climate liability lawsuits against energy companies.
