The case, #Chevron USA Inc v #Plaquemines Parish, LA, focused on a narrow question: whether the #oil companies could remove cases over #environmental damage from #state to #federal court. But the case has been closely watched by litigants in other #climate lawsuits because state courts are generally thought to be more receptive to people who sue over damages caused by #ClimateChange, including activists & state officials.
