Big Oil asks Supreme Court to block climate lawsuits
Original: Big Oil asks Supreme Court to kill climate lawsuits before trial
Major oil companies are asking the US Supreme Court to dismiss state and local climate liability lawsuits before they can go to trial. The suits, brought by cities and states, seek damages for costs tied to climate change, arguing the industry deceived the public about fossil fuel risks. The companies want the justices to intervene now, rather than wait for lower courts to finish reviewing the claims.
Why now: A Supreme Court decision could determine whether dozens of climate damages lawsuits against the oil industry can proceed at all.
