Original: Big Oil has an audacious request for the Supreme Court
Energy industry interests are asking the US Supreme Court to take up a case that could shield oil companies from climate-related lawsuits. According to Vox, the request is being described as audacious, with critics saying the industry is seeking to escape accountability in state courts where dozens of cities and states are suing over climate damages.
Why now: The Supreme Court is being asked to intervene in high-stakes climate litigation against oil companies.
