Supreme Court Weighs Boulder Climate Change Lawsuit
Original: Supreme Court tangles over Boulder’s major climate change case
The US Supreme Court heard arguments in a closely watched case brought by the city of Boulder, Colorado, seeking to hold energy companies accountable for climate change damages. The case tests whether such lawsuits can proceed in state courts, and the justices' questioning suggested sharp divisions. A ruling could shape how cities across the country pursue climate claims against major fossil fuel producers.
Why now: A Supreme Court ruling could determine the fate of municipal climate lawsuits nationwide.
