Second Court Decision Blocks New York Climate Superfund Act

Original: Second Decision to Block New York Climate Change Superfund Act Issued

A second legal decision has been issued blocking New York's Climate Change Superfund Act, the law that would require major fossil fuel companies to pay into a fund for climate adaptation costs in the state. The repeated rulings are drawing attention because the act is one of the most ambitious state-level climate liability laws in the United States, and the legal challenges could influence similar efforts elsewhere.

Why now: The act is a high-profile test case for making polluters pay for climate damages, so repeated court blocks attract wide attention.
