Charleston Climate Lawsuit Crushed: Judge Slams Policy-By-Courtroom Strategy

A South Carolina judge has dismissed Charleston’s climate lawsuit, delivering a decisive setback to the climate litigation campaign. [emphasis, links added]


Via a ruling on Wednesday, Judge Roger Young dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning Charleston cannot refile the claims, dealing a substantial blow to law firm Sher Edling and the Rockefeller-backed climate litigation campaign.

This ruling follows a growing trend of similar dismissals in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland, reinforcing the principle that climate policy is a national and global issue, not something individual states or cities can reshape using state law:

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
