Supreme Court to Weigh If Oil Firms Must Pay for Climate Damage
Original: Supreme Court to weigh whether oil companies can be forced to pay for climate damage
The US Supreme Court has agreed to take up the question of whether oil companies can be compelled to pay damages for climate change. The case could determine the fate of lawsuits brought by states and cities seeking to hold major oil producers financially responsible for climate-related harm, a dispute that has wound through lower courts for years.
Why now: The Supreme Court's decision to hear the case could reshape climate liability litigation against the fossil fuel industry.
