Supreme Court Skeptical of Oil Industry Bid to End Climate Lawsuits
Original: Oil Industry’s Bid to Kill Climate Change Lawsuits Faces SCOTUS Skepticism
The oil industry asked the Supreme Court to shut down state and local lawsuits seeking damages for climate change, but justices showed skepticism toward that bid during arguments. The cases, brought by cities and states, aim to hold major energy companies liable for climate-related harms in state courts. A ruling could determine whether these sweeping climate liability claims proceed or are blocked.
Why now: The Supreme Court heard arguments on the industry's attempt to dismiss climate change lawsuits, with major implications for climate accountability litigation.
