Supreme Court Considers State Climate Lawsuit Against Energy Firms

The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in *Suncor v. Boulder*, a significant climate change case. Boulder County seeks damages from Exxon Mobil and Suncor Energy for alleged climate contributions. The conservative majority appeared to favor the companies' argument that federal law might preempt state-level lawsuits, potentially preventing widespread legal "chaos." Justice Alito recused himself.
