Supreme Court weighs liability for climate change harms
Original: Supreme Court case centers on battle over liability for climate change harms
The US Supreme Court is hearing a case that could decide who bears legal responsibility for harms caused by climate change. At stake is whether oil and gas companies and other major emitters can be held liable in court for damages linked to their emissions, a question with enormous implications for climate litigation and for industries facing a wave of lawsuits from states and municipalities.
Why now: The Supreme Court's ruling could reshape climate litigation and determine whether fossil fuel companies pay for climate damages.
