Climate change takes center stage in Supreme Court oil company battle

Original: Killer beetles, tinderbox forests: Climate change takes center stage in SCOTUS battle over oil companies

A battle over oil companies has reached the US Supreme Court, with climate change impacts at its core. Arguments centre on evidence including beetle infestations killing forests and increasingly fire-prone woodland, presented as consequences of a warming climate linked to fossil fuel producers. The case is drawing attention for potentially shaping how far oil companies can be held liable for climate-related damage in the United States.

Why now: A Supreme Court case could determine oil companies' liability for climate change damage.
