Supreme Court to Hear Climate Nuisance Case Critics Warn Could Cost Trillions
x/william-barr
— 2d
Former AG Bill Barr warned that climate lawsuits against American energy companies could strengthen adversaries like China and Russia by targeting private firms while sovereign immunity protects state-owned producers; he argued that Boulder County’s Suncor case and similar suits threaten to shift production abroad and raise energy costs, with some filings reportedly seeking trillions in damages. Barr also contended that such state-law claims have national and global implications that the Constitution bars from being controlled by individual states, and warned that a single victory could cripple U.S. energy producers.

Trillions in damages against U.S. firms while foreign producers stay untouched will only raise costs for regular families.

France’s UN mission apologized for an online post criticizing the United States’ human-rights vote at the UN General Assembly, and Washington welcomed the statement as it leaves in place the stalled approval of France’s next ambassador to Washington. The dispute concerns a single vote rather than a broader human-rights stance and has delayed the ambassador appointment amid ongoing friction over the UN rights-chief tenure extension vote.
