GoKawiilSupreme Court considers blocking climate lawsuits by oil companies
The US Supreme Court heard arguments from ExxonMobil and Suncor Energy on whether federal law preempts state and local climate liability claims. The case, initiated by Boulder in 2018, questions if municipalities can pursue damages for alleged deception related to climate change, without regulating global emissions directly. The court's decision could impact over two dozen similar lawsuits across the US.
