Supreme Court hears arguments in climate change case seeking to hold companies liable

The Supreme Court has commenced its new term by hearing arguments regarding whether energy companies can be held liable for damages linked to climate change. The court is currently weighing if state and local governments possess the legal standing to sue these companies over alleged environmental harm. This includes a specific case from Boulder, Colorado, which 26 states, led by Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, have urged the high court to halt during these legal proceedings.
