Big Oil asks Supreme Court to kill climate lawsuits before trial
Major oil companies have asked the US Supreme Court to halt state and local climate liability lawsuits before they can reach trial, according to Ars Technica. The suits, brought by governments seeking damages for climate-related costs, remain at an early stage in state courts. An intervention by the justices could determine whether these cases proceed at all or are dismissed on federal grounds.
Why now: A Supreme Court decision on whether climate damages lawsuits can proceed would have major consequences for both the fossil fuel industry and local governments.
