The Supreme Court sent three climate change cases back to lower courts on Monday after it handed a narrow win to big oil companies last week.
The decisions, released in unsigned orders, vacated previous rulings in cases involving the companies Shell, Suncor, and Chevron. In all three cases, the court asked appeals courts to reconsider the disputes between oil companies and state and local governments in light of its ruling in a case involving BP, ExxonMobil, as well as other oil companies, and the city of Baltimore.
