Supreme Court weighs bid to block major climate lawsuit
Original: Supreme Court wrestles with energy companies' bid to block major climate-change lawsuit
The US Supreme Court heard arguments over energy companies' attempt to stop a major climate-change lawsuit from moving forward. The case centers on whether industry defendants can be held liable in state or local courts for damages linked to their fossil fuel emissions. Oil and gas companies argue the claims belong in federal court, while plaintiffs want them heard where they were filed.
Why now: A Supreme Court decision could determine the fate of numerous climate liability lawsuits against energy companies across the United States.
