U.S. Supreme Court: Climate Change Litigation May Proceed

U.S. Supreme Court Building

More than two dozen multinational energy companies tried to block a move that sought to hold them accountable for their role in changing the earth’s climate, but last week, the Supreme Court rejected their request.

Does that mean such litigation will ultimately be successful? Of course not. Yet it’s an interesting wrinkle in a drama that is sure to play out over a period of time that is almost certain to exceed my tenure on this planet.
