PoliticsBig Oil asks Supreme Court to end climate lawsuits before trial

The US Supreme Court heard oil companies argue Monday that federal law bars state and local governments from bringing climate-related claims. The ruling could affect more than two dozen lawsuits accusing the industry of misleading the public and seeking potentially billions in damages. The case was filed in 2018 by Boulder city and county against ExxonMobil and Suncor Energy.
