The Supreme Court justices turned away five appeals by the oil companies of lower court decisions that determined that the lawsuits belonged in state court
and others to move lawsuits filed by state and local governments accusing the oil companies of worsening climate change out of state courts and into federal courts.
The appeal had marked the first chance for the high court to decide whether to revisit an issue that it last addressed in 2021, when the justices gave oil companies a new shot at redirecting climate-related lawsuits brought by state and local governments into federal court. Those cases included one filed in 2018 by the city of Boulder and by Colorado’s San Miguel and Boulder counties accusing Exxon and Suncor of exacerbating climate change by concealing and misrepresenting the dangers associated with burning fossil fuels.
The Denver-based 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in February concluded that the lawsuit did not belong in federal court because none of the grounds cited by the companies to change the venue supported giving federal courts jurisdiction.
