Supreme Court Seeks Biden Administration's Opinion on Honolulu Climate Lawsuits
Jun 10, 2024, 02:52 PM
The U.S. Supreme Court has requested the Biden administration to provide its opinion on a pair of climate change lawsuits involving Honolulu. These cases, Sunoco v. Honolulu and Shell v. Honolulu, aim to hold major oil and gas companies accountable for their contributions to climate change. The Supreme Court's request for the Solicitor General's input could influence whether the cases proceed. Notably, Justice Samuel Alito did not participate in the decision, likely due to his financial interests in the companies involved.
