Supreme Court opens new term with climate damages case

Original: Supreme Court starts a new term with a case about who pays for climate damage

The US Supreme Court has begun its new term with a case addressing who should pay for climate-related damage. The case will examine whether energy companies can be held liable in state courts for the costs of climate harm, a question with major financial and legal implications for polluters, state governments and communities seeking compensation.

Why now: The ruling could decide who bears the cost of climate change and reshape liability for major energy companies.
