On September 11, 2025, WLF asked the Supreme Court to grant review of a decision of the Colorado Supreme Court in a climate-change suit by Boulder County against major energy companies. WLF’s amicus brief argues that climate-change tort claims implicate uniquely federal interests, requiring a uniform federal rule of decision rather than a patchwork of state rulings. The proliferation of such suits could impose crippling liabilities on the energy sector, disrupt interstate federalism, and undermine national economic and security interests, necessitating Supreme Court intervention to halt this disastrous trend. WLF joined the Atlantic Legal Foundation and the Federation of Defense & Corporate Counsel on the amicus brief.
