🌍✨ Supreme Court wrestles with who should pay for climate change

Why we’re watching: The Supreme Court opened its 2026-2027 term Monday with a climate case: a lawsuit brought by Boulder, Colorado, against ExxonMobil and Suncor, a Canadian oil company, over the costs of a warming planet.

The case is one of dozens across the country in which local governments have sued fossil fuel companies for their role in driving climate change and are seeking compensation as they now deal with its effects. 💚

The Supreme Court’s decision could decide the fate of all those other cases and the idea that oil companies must pay for the damages their products caused.
