Supreme Court hears major climate case

Former Washington Gov. Jay Inslee joined climate activists and wildfire survivors outside the Supreme Court as justices weigh a case that could determine whether local governments can sue fossil fuel companies over climate change damages and alleged marketing deception.

The Supreme Court started its new term with a bang this week: Can Boulder, Colo., sue fossil fuel producers for billions in state court over climate change? But the oral arguments left the justices tussling with no clear resolution.

The city of Boulder, Colorado, is seeking redress from the harms it says Big Oil caused to its community. After oral arguments, it's an open question how the Roberts court will rule.
