US Supreme Court hears Suncor, Exxon bid to block state climate lawsuits

The US Supreme Court begins its term hearing arguments in Suncor Energy v. Boulder County, where oil majors seek to move climate damage suits from state to federal court, a move that could effectively kill them. The case tests whether state tort claims are displaced by federal law, with implications for dozens of similar suits nationwide. A ruling against the companies would allow climate liability cases to proceed, while a win for the industry would likely end them.
