US Supreme Court Deals Blow to Big Oil, Allows Climate Suits to Proceed in State Court
TL;DR Summary
The US Supreme Court has rejected an attempt by fossil fuel corporations to dismiss climate lawsuits filed by the city of Hoboken, New Jersey, and the state of Delaware. The lawsuits target companies including BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, and Shell for fueling the climate emergency. The decision means that both cases will now move forward in state court. The fossil fuel industry has repeatedly tried to evade accountability by shifting such cases from state to federal court.
