US Supreme Court lets states pursue climate change damage lawsuits against oil and gas firms.

The US Supreme Court has refused to intervene in lawsuits filed by various states against oil and gas companies over climate change damages.

The companies argued that such issues should be handled federally, but the court's decision allows the cases to move forward, potentially setting a precedent for future legal actions against fossil fuel producers.
