A judge dismissed a Pennsylvania county lawsuit alleging climate change-related harm against major oil and gas companies late on Friday.
Bucks County Court of Common Pleas Judge Stephen Corr dismissed the county’s lawsuit against energy companies including Chevron, BP, ExxonMobil and Shell, ruling that the court lacked the jurisdiction to hear the case. The decision is one of several recent dismissals of climate nuisance lawsuits filed by Democratic-leaning cities and states seeking major damages from energy companies.
“Today we join a growing chorus of state and federal courts across the United States, singing from the same hymnal, in concluding that the claims raised by Bucks County are not judiciable by any court in Pennsylvania,” Corr wrote in the dismissal.
