US Supreme Court hears oil industry bid to block climate lawsuits
Original: US supreme court hears big oil’s bid to block climate damage lawsuits
The US Supreme Court has heard arguments in a case brought by major oil companies seeking to block state and local climate damage lawsuits. Cities and states are suing energy firms for billions in damages linked to climate change, and the industry wants the cases moved out of state courts or dismissed. The ruling could determine whether dozens of these climate liability lawsuits can proceed in the United States.
Why now: A Supreme Court decision could decide the fate of dozens of climate liability lawsuits against major oil companies across the US.
