Supreme Court opens term with climate liability fight

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court opens its new term Monday with a climate case that asks whether energy companies can be forced to pay for climate-related damages.

The justices are starting with a dispute tied to Boulder, Colorado, where energy companies are seeking to block lawsuits that aim to hold them liable for climate harms. Billions of dollars could turn on the outcome.
