Supreme Court to Weigh Bid to End Boulder Climate Lawsuit
Original: Supreme Court to weigh energy companies' bid to end Boulder climate-change lawsuit
The US Supreme Court is set to consider energy companies' request to end the city of Boulder, Colorado's climate-change lawsuit. The case seeks to hold major oil and gas producers liable for climate-related damages, and the companies are asking the justices to dismiss it. The Supreme Court's decision on whether to hear the dispute could shape similar lawsuits brought by cities and states across the country.
Why now: A Supreme Court ruling could determine the fate of municipal climate lawsuits against energy companies nationwide.
