Second Federal Court Strikes Down New York Climate Superfund Act
Original: Second Federal Court Strikes Down New York’s Climate Change Superfund Act
A second federal court has struck down New York's Climate Change Superfund Act, the law requiring large fossil fuel companies to pay billions for past climate damages. The ruling marks another legal setback for the state's attempt to make polluters fund climate adaptation costs. It is likely to fuel ongoing national debate over whether states can impose retroactive climate liability on energy companies.
Why now: A second federal court ruling against a landmark climate liability law is a significant development in the legal fight over making fossil fuel companies pay for climate damages.
