Alito recuses from major climate change case to be decided by the Supreme Court

The Supreme Court will soon hear arguments in the major climate change lawsuit between two energy companies and the city and county of Boulder, Colorado.

Justice Samuel Alito will not be involved in a significant climate change case concerning two major energy corporations, as disclosed in a recent letter from the Supreme Court. The reason for Alito's recusal remains undisclosed, but it is plausible due to his financial interests in oil and gas companies. This decision takes place one week prior to the Supreme Court's commencement of its new term, where arguments will be presented in the case between Suncor Energy and Exxon Mobil and the city and county of Boulder, Colorado.
