California climate change lawsuits paused during SCOTUS review

On Tuesday, San Francisco Judge Ethan Schulman issued a stay, putting California climate lawsuits on hold while the Supreme Court considers a similar Colorado case affecting San Mateo County and Oakland.

Theodore Boutrous, Jr. of Gibson, Dunn and Crutcher, representing Chevron, called the pause a "victory for reliable energy," arguing that 50 states should not set global climate policy through lawsuits.
