Supreme Court to weigh who pays for climate damage
Original: Question of whether taxpayers or fossil fuel companies pay for climate change damage heads to Supreme Court
The US Supreme Court is set to take up the question of whether taxpayers or fossil fuel companies should bear the cost of damage caused by climate change. The case could determine the fate of lawsuits seeking to hold oil and gas producers financially liable for climate-related harms, with major implications for states, municipalities and the energy industry.
Why now: A Supreme Court case deciding financial liability for climate change damage has major consequences for taxpayers and the fossil fuel industry.
