Justice Samuel Alito will not participate in an upcoming Supreme Court case involving oil companies seeking to dismiss a climate change lawsuit. The case, set for argument on October 5, questions whether federal law precludes state-law claims for damages from greenhouse gas emissions. Alito owns stock in oil and gas companies but not Exxon Mobil or Suncor Energy, the parties involved.
