Supreme Court weighs case that could kill climate lawsuits

Original: The Supreme Court is looking for a way to kill climate lawsuits https:// fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.vox. com/politics/505

The Supreme Court is hearing arguments in the Suncor case brought by Boulder, Colorado, examining whether state courts can hear climate liability lawsuits against major oil companies like ExxonMobil. A ruling limiting those suits could gut the wave of state and local climate damages litigation across the United States. Commentators warn the decision could effectively end cities' and states' attempts to hold energy companies financially accountable for climate change harms.

Why now: A pending Supreme Court ruling on the Suncor case could shut down the growing wave of US climate liability lawsuits.
