Supreme Court hears case on Big Oil climate liability
Original: Supreme Court grapples with case on holding Big Oil liable for climate change
The US Supreme Court is weighing a case that could determine whether major oil companies can be held legally liable for climate change damages. The outcome may shape lawsuits by states and municipalities seeking billions from fossil fuel firms for costs tied to rising seas, wildfires and extreme weather. A ruling could redefine accountability for carbon emissions in the United States.
Why now: A Supreme Court decision on oil company climate liability would have major legal and financial consequences for the fossil fuel industry and climate litigation nationwide.
