Story summary

When the Supreme Court opens its new term on Monday, it will hear arguments in Suncor Energy v. Boulder County, a landmark case that could set a precedent for whether states and local governments can sue oil and gas companies over climate change damages. In 2018, Boulder County filed a lawsuit against Exxon Mobil and Suncor Energy, accusing them of contributing to climate change through their operations and seeking compensation under state tort laws. Manufacturers fear that if the Court allows such lawsuits to proceed, it could lead to an unpredictable patchwork of legal actions targeting industries across the nation for complex national issues. The case is expected to have significant implications for business investment and job growth in communities nationwide.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
