SCOTUS Denies Request To Consider Climate Lawsuits

The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear challenges to

state and local lawsuits seeking damages from oil companies

for climate change impacts. Critics argue these cases push anti-fossil

fuel policies and raise consumer costs,

while advocates say they hold companies accountable.

Using state nuisance laws, these lawsuits could set a precedent for future

cases and influence energy policy through the courts rather than legislation.
