Supreme Court considers climate suits against oil
The Supreme Court is weighing whether federal law prohibits local governments, such as Boulder, Colorado, from seeking damages from oil companies like ExxonMobil and Suncor Energy over climate change impacts.

A decision is anticipated by the end of June, with the outcome potentially affecting numerous similar cases nationwide.
