Second Ruling Blocks New York Climate Change Superfund Act
Original: Second Decision to Block New York Climate Change Superfund Act Issued
A second judicial decision has been issued to block New York's Climate Change Superfund Act, the state law that would require major fossil fuel companies to pay billions for climate adaptation costs. The repeat ruling deepens the legal uncertainty around the measure, which was modeled on existing superfund-style liability schemes and has been challenged by industry groups.
Why now: Courts have now twice moved to halt a closely watched law that would make polluters pay for climate damages, with implications for similar statutes elsewhere.
