The Supreme Court's new term has begun with several significant cases on the agenda, including ones related to climate change, religious rights, and immigration. A major climate change case is among the first to be heard, involving energy companies trying to block lawsuits seeking to hold them liable for damage related to climate change. The case, which originated in Boulder, Colorado, could have significant financial implications, with billions of dollars at stake.
The energy companies, including Suncor and ExxonMobil, argue that lawsuits are not the way to address the global issue of climate change. They have the support of the Trump administration in this matter. Further details about the case and the Supreme Court's new term are available.
