Supreme Court hears first case of new term on climate suits
Original: Supreme Court weighs whether to limit climate change suits in first case of new term
The US Supreme Court opened its new term by hearing arguments on whether state and local climate change lawsuits against energy companies can proceed, in a case that could sharply limit such litigation. The question is whether federal law preempts the claims. A ruling could shape how communities seek damages for climate-related harm.
Why now: It is the Supreme Court's first case of the new term and could redefine the future of climate litigation in the US.
