Supreme Court Case Could Decide If Big Oil Pays for Climate Damage

Original: Should Big Oil pay for climate change? A Supreme Court case will help decide.

A case before the US Supreme Court is set to help determine whether major oil companies can be held financially liable for climate change damage. The question of whether fossil fuel producers should compensate states and communities for climate-related harms has moved through lower courts for years, and the justices' decision could shape the future of climate litigation across the country.

Why now: The Supreme Court taking up a case that could establish whether oil companies must pay for climate change has major implications for climate liability lawsuits nationwide.
