“US supreme court to hear big oil’s bid to block climate damage lawsuits”

US Supreme Court to hear Boulder climate lawsuit against Suncor and Exxon

Key points

  • The Supreme Court opens a new term to hear Boulder County's climate lawsuit against Suncor Energy and ExxonMobil.
  • Companies argue federal law prevents state courts from hearing the case; the court will rule on jurisdiction and preemption.
  • If decided for Boulder, the case could proceed in state court and impact other environmental suits nationwide.
  • Experts say this could determine the fate of future climate litigation against fossil fuel firms.
  • Rally planned outside the Court; a ruling is expected next summer.
