Supreme Court wrestles with energy companies' bid to block major climate suit

The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments regarding a bid by energy companies, specifically ExxonMobil and Suncor Energy, to block a major climate lawsuit. The legal action was initiated by officials from the city and county of Boulder, Colorado, who are seeking monetary damages for harms resulting from global climate change. Eight of the nine justices participated in the session, which occurred as the court opened its new nine-month term this past Monday.
