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. # ClimateCh
A case heading to the US Supreme Court will decide whether taxpayers or fossil fuel companies bear the cost of damage caused by climate change. The question reaches the court as states and local governments pursue energy companies for costs linked to rising seas, extreme weather and other climate harms, and the ruling could reshape who is financially responsible.
Why now: A Supreme Court case on who pays for climate change damage has major financial and legal implications.
