Supreme Court Weighs Chance to End Climate Liability Claims
Original: Supreme Court Has Chance to End Legally Flawed Climate Claims
The US Supreme Court is being urged to take up a case that could shut down climate-related lawsuits filed by states and municipalities against energy companies. Critics argue these claims are legally flawed because they seek to regulate emissions through state tort law rather than federal policy. Supporters of the suits say the companies should be held accountable for damages linked to their products. The case has drawn wide attention from legal, energy and climate policy observers.
Why now: The Supreme Court is seen as having a pivotal opportunity to decide the future of climate litigation against energy companies.
