Original: Supreme Court to weigh whether oil companies can be forced to pay for climate damage
The US Supreme Court is set to take up the question of whether major oil companies can be forced to pay for damages caused by climate change. The case could determine the fate of numerous lawsuits filed by states and municipalities seeking billions of dollars from energy companies for costs tied to rising seas, wildfires and extreme weather. A ruling could reshape who bears the financial burden of climate impacts in the United States.
Why now: The Supreme Court's decision to hear a case that could decide the financial liability of oil companies for climate damage has major implications for ongoing lawsuits.
