Original: US Supreme Court's Alito won't participate in climate case involving oil companies
US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is not taking part in a case involving climate-related claims against major oil companies. His recusal reduces the bench to eight justices for the case, which could affect the outcome if the court splits. The case is being closely watched for its implications for climate litigation against the fossil fuel industry.
Why now: The recusal of a justice in a high-stakes climate case against oil companies has just been announced.
