“The Supreme Court on Monday turned away a bid by Republican-led states to block lawsuits brought by a group of Democratic-led states that seek to hold oil and gas companies accountable for their fossil fuel products’ contributions to climate change. The court’s decision to stay out of the dispute allows the five blue states to pursue lawsuits filed against the energy industry in their own courts. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented from the court’s decision not to allow the red states to seek its intervention. … The novel suits were brought by California, Connecticut, Minnesota, New Jersey and Rhode Island and seek to hold energy companies liable for allegedly deceiving the public about the dangers of their fossil-fuel products.” (03/10/25)
