最高法院将决定各州是否可以审理Boulder诉埃克森美孚和Suncor等气候责任案件。 Supreme Court to decide if states can hear climate liability cases like Boulder’s against ExxonMobil and Suncor.

美国最高法院将审理埃克森美孚公司和Suncor Energy提出的一个案件, 以阻止科罗拉多州Boulder公司提出的气候诉讼, The U.S. Supreme Court will hear a case brought by ExxonMobil and Suncor Energy seeking to block a climate lawsuit filed by Boulder, Colorado, which alleges the companies misled the public about fossil fuel impacts and are liable for climate-related damages. 该案是城市和县的许多类似诉讼案件之一,可以确定州法院是否可以审理气候责任索赔,或者这类事项是否必须由联邦处理。 The case, one of many similar suits by cities and counties, could determine whether state courts can hear climate liability claims or if such matters must be handled federally. Trump政府支持石油公司,认为州诉讼干扰联邦气候政策,而Boulder认为州有权处理国家外的损害。 The Trump administration supports the oil companies, arguing state lawsuits interfere with federal climate policy, while Boulder contends states have authority to address out-of-state harms. 这项决定可能决定全国气候诉讼的未来。 The decision may shape the future of climate litigation nationwide.
