Supreme Court weighs case threatening climate lawsuits

The Supreme Court is weighing a case that could give state and fossil fuel interests a way to shut down climate liability lawsuits. The dispute stems from litigation by Boulder, Colorado, against ExxonMobil and Suncor over climate damages. Observers say the Court's decision could determine whether dozens of similar suits by cities and states can proceed in state courts.

Why now: The Supreme Court's consideration of the case could determine the fate of widespread climate liability litigation against oil companies.
