Boulder's Climate Case Reaches the Supreme Court

The Supreme Court has heard arguments in a climate case that could shape how communities hold industries accountable, PBS NewsHour reports. Officials in Boulder, Colorado, are seeking compensation from energy companies for the costs of natural disasters they say are caused by climate change. The dispute is one version of a larger question: when a city absorbs the bill for a disaster, can it send that bill to the industries it blames? PBS frames the case as one that could shape how far communities can go in holding those industries accountable.
