Supreme Court hears case on energy firms' climate liability
Original: Supreme Court hears case on holding energy companies liable for climate change
The US Supreme Court has heard arguments in a case examining whether major energy companies can be held financially liable for climate change damages. The outcome could shape the legal exposure of oil and gas producers facing lawsuits from states and municipalities over the costs of extreme weather and rising seas, making it a significant test for climate litigation in the United States.
Why now: The case could set a precedent determining whether energy companies must pay for climate change damages.
