Suncor Energy (U.S.A.) Inc. v. County Commissioners of Boulder County, et. al.

SCOTUS

(U.S., filed May 18, 2026): Arguing the state law does not provide a mechanism to recover damages for costs attributed to global climate change. Climate change is not a tort and state consumer protection statutes do not offer a viable alternative theory.  Additionally, the development, funding, and litigation of climate change lawsuits brought by state and local governments further demonstrate their interstate nature.
