Exxon bets on Supreme Court to block climate liability claims

Original: Exxon's Supreme Court bet could shield Houston oil from climate change claims

ExxonMobil is taking its fight against climate-related lawsuits to the US Supreme Court, in a move that could protect oil companies, including those based in Houston, from claims seeking damages for climate change. The case is being closely watched because a ruling in Exxon's favour could undermine the wave of state and local climate liability suits filed across the United States.

Why now: A Supreme Court decision could determine whether oil companies can be held financially liable for climate change damages.
