I'd put this at a fairly small chance that it will end up prevailing at the Supremes -- but here's to hoping!
. . .The justices are about to hear a lawsuit that could determine whether the oil industry faces billions of dollars in liability for damages caused by global warming. . . .
Nearly a decade ago, the outdoorsy, liberal enclave of Boulder, Colo., sued two oil companies over their role in climate change. Now, the Supreme Court will consider whether the groundbreaking lawsuit can ever go to trial.
Its decision will resonate far beyond the Rockies.
A win for Boulder would likely clear the way for dozens of similar lawsuits nationwide aiming to extract billions of dollars from the fossil fuel industry to fight global warming. But if the court kills Boulder’s case, that could doom the others, handing a major victory to oil companies. . . .
Yep -- now, onward to the high Rockies at 10,200 feet and snows?! Heh.
