Second Federal Court Strikes Down New York Climate Superfund Act
Original: Second Federal Court Strikes Down New York’s Climate Change Superfund Act
A second federal court has struck down New York's Climate Change Superfund Act, the state law requiring large fossil fuel companies to pay billions for past climate damages. The ruling is a fresh legal blow to the statute, which had already faced a first federal court defeat and challenges from industry and the federal government. Observers say the decisions cast serious doubt on the law's future and on similar climate cost-recovery measures in other states.
Why now: A second federal court ruling against a high-profile state climate law has major implications for climate accountability efforts nationwide.
