Supreme Court considers hearing Hawaii's lawsuit against oil companies over climate change liability.
The Supreme Court has indicated interest in hearing a lawsuit brought by Hawaii against major oil companies, alleging they should be held liable for climate change.

Some Democrats suggest the high court may be "captured" by the fossil fuel industry.
