美国最高法院拒绝干预各州针对石油和天然气公司就气候变化损害提起的诉讼。 The US Supreme Court has refused to intervene in lawsuits filed by various states against oil and gas companies over climate change damages. 这些诉讼案因野火和海平面升高等问题寻求数十亿的损害赔偿,现在将在州法院进行。 These lawsuits, which seek billions in damages for issues like wildfires and rising sea levels, will now proceed in state courts. 这些公司认为,这些问题应由联邦处理,但法院的裁决允许案件向前推进,有可能为今后对化石燃料生产商采取法律行动开创先例。 The companies argued that such issues should be handled federally, but the court's decision allows the cases to move forward, potentially setting a precedent for future legal actions against fossil fuel producers.
