The United States Supreme Court’s new term is beginning with a complex climate change case. The lawsuit was brought by the city of Boulder, Colorado, against energy companies Exxon Mobil and Suncor Energy. Justices are reportedly entering the arguments without a clear consensus on how to proceed. The case centers on whether the energy companies can be held liable for contributing to the impacts of climate change. This marks a significant early test for the court as it navigates increasingly urgent environmental issues. The outcome could potentially set a precedent for similar lawsuits across the country. Oral arguments are expected to begin shortly.
