美国最高法院新任期内将审理一起关键性案件，涉及石油和天然气企业能否被州法院追究气候变化损害赔偿责任。1玻尔德县地方官员在州法院起诉埃克森美孚公司和桑科能源公司，要求这两家企业为气候变化对当地纳税人造成的部分成本承担责任。1被告公司辩称联邦法律禁止州法院受理此类气候变化诉讼，主张该案应由最高法院裁决。1
最高法院将在周一进行口头辩论，审议的核心问题是州法院在处理气候变化相关诉讼中是否具有管辖权。1这起名为"桑科能源诉玻尔德县委员会案"的诉讼涉及能源行业应对气候变化法律责任的重要问题。1
The U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Monday in a case that could determine whether oil and gas companies can block climate damage lawsuits filed in state courts.1 Exxon Mobil and Suncor Energy, a Canadian petroleum company, are appealing a decision that would allow Boulder County officials to pursue their claims against the firms in Colorado state court.1 The local officials are seeking to hold the two companies financially responsible for costs related to climate change impacts on county taxpayers.1
The core legal dispute centers on whether federal law prevents state courts from hearing such climate-related litigation.1 The oil companies argue that federal law bars state courts from taking jurisdiction over these types of cases, a position they are now pressing before the nation's highest court in the new term.1
