From Washington: A new Supreme Court term is beginning with several significant cases on the agenda. Climate change is one of the key issues, with a major case involving energy companies and lawsuits seeking to hold them liable for damage related to climate change. The case involves billions of dollars and the companies, including Suncor and ExxonMobil, argue that lawsuits are not the way to address the global issue.
