In a series of recent decisions, the Supreme Court has allowed climate change lawsuits against oil companies to proceed, notably in Hawaii and Honolulu. The court declined multiple appeals from major oil corporations seeking to block these lawsuits, reinforcing the ability of local and state governments to pursue legal action related to climate impacts. This stance follows the rejection of various bids from the oil industry to dismiss these cases. The rulings signal a significant step in the ongoing legal battles over accountability for climate change, as the Supreme Court enables these critical suits to move forward.
