Big Oil asks US Supreme Court to halt climate lawsuits
Original: Facing climate lawsuits, Big Oil again turns to US Supreme Court
Major oil companies are asking the US Supreme Court to intervene in climate liability lawsuits brought by states and municipalities seeking damages for climate-related harms. The industry wants the justices to block or limit these cases, arguing they belong in federal courts rather than state courts, where plaintiffs have generally fared better. The move marks a renewed effort by the sector to stop a wave of litigation that could cost it billions of dollars.
Why now: The Supreme Court is being asked to decide whether climate damage lawsuits against oil companies can proceed, a ruling with major financial and legal consequences.
