Exxon and Suncor Ask Supreme Court to Block Climate Suits
Original: Exxon, Suncor Bid to Block Climate Suits at US Supreme Court
Exxon Mobil and Canadian oil company Suncor Energy have asked the US Supreme Court to intervene and block climate change lawsuits brought against them. The companies are seeking to stop state and local government legal actions that seek to hold fossil fuel producers liable for climate-related damages. The move is part of a broader industry effort to move such cases out of state courts, where plaintiffs have had more success, and into federal jurisdiction.
Why now: The Supreme Court's decision on whether to take up the case could determine the fate of numerous climate liability lawsuits against oil companies.
