Boulder climate lawsuit puts Suncor before the Supreme Court

Podcasts focus on Boulder, Colorado’s lawsuit seeking costs from Suncor and ExxonMobil for climate-related wildfires, floods, heat and infrastructure impacts.[1][2][3]

NPR’s Carrie Johnson says Boulder argues the companies knew fossil fuels contributed to climate change and deceived the public, while seeking a chance to present the case at trial.[3][4]

The energy companies argue that state juries should not decide such a broad issue, according to NPR’s reporting.[1][3]

Morning Wire’s Charles Stimson says the case did not appear to go well for Boulder and opposes allowing states and residents to sue energy companies out of business.[5]

The NPR Politics Podcast and Morning Wire describe the case as testing state power, while Morning Wire’s Tim Phillips says a Colorado victory could let the state regulate oil companies for conduct outside its borders.[2][6]

Breaking News from Pod Save America discusses Justice Alito’s recusal, saying he owns ExxonMobil and Suncor stock as the court considers whether oil and gas companies can be held accountable for climate change and pollution.[7]
