Justice Alito on the Supreme Court:
The Supreme Court heard arguments in a case brought by Suncor Energy and ExxonMobil seeking to end climate lawsuits, including one filed by officials in Boulder County, Colorado.
Boulder County is seeking compensation for costs it says are tied to natural disasters caused by climate change. The companies deny liability and argue that the lawsuits could cause major financial harm to the energy industry and consumers.
The case could affect dozens of similar lawsuits around the country. The justices’ questions included skepticism about the companies’ legal arguments, according to Vox. No ruling was reported in the supplied coverage.
