"[C]limate change is just a very, very expensive form of tax."

"I believe in climate change caused by human beings. What I'm skeptical about is the glib notion that it means the end of the world as we know it."

"The clock is no longer just ticking, it is banging."

"There is no long-term prosperity without action on climate change."

"The time for seeking global solutions [to climate change] is running out."

"The climate crisis is the existential threat. That's not hyperbole; it's a fact."

"[W]e are killing our planet."

Climate change is "above all, an existential crisis."

"Climate change is one of the greatest challenges mankind faces."

"If we don't take action, the collapse of our civilisations and the extinction of much of the natural world is on the horizon."

"Humanity is on thin ice — and that ice is melting fast."

"We haven't yet exceeded the bounds of viable human civilisation, but we're getting close."

Is Climate Change an Existential Threat?

U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) Justice Samuel Alito announced Monday that he will not take part in a major climate change case set for argument Oct. 5, according to a one-sentence letter from Supreme Court Clerk Scott Harris that gave no reason for the decision. Alito, however, has faced scrutiny from environmental and other groups to step aside over his relationship to oil companies.

The dispute, Suncor Energy v. County Commissioners of Boulder County, is the first case scheduled for argument when the justices return from their summer break and open the 2026-27 term.

Boulder County and the City of Boulder sued Suncor Energy and ExxonMobil in 2018, bringing state-law claims, including public and private nuisance, trespass, unjust enrichment and civil conspiracy over alleged climate-related harms.

The companies contend that claims involving interstate and international greenhouse gas emissions are governed by federal law and cannot proceed under a single state's tort system. Dozens of similar suits have been filed nationwide.

Alito doesn't own shares in Suncor or ExxonMobil, but his disclosures list holdings in ConocoPhillips, Phillips 66, OGE Energy Corp, Black Hills Corp, BHP Group, Fortis Inc., Woodside Energy Group and AES Corp.

A court spokesperson said in May that recusal was not required because Alito had no financial interest in any party. With eight justices hearing the case, a 4-4 split would leave the Colorado Supreme Court ruling in place.

Stepping aside was the only honest move once personal holdings in oil companies stood to gain from gutting climate liability suits. Years of pressure were needed to force what basic ethics demanded from the start, which says everything about accountability at the high court. The public deserves judges whose portfolios aren't riding on the outcome.

One standard for recusal has to mean one standard for every justice, not just the ones progressives want off a case. Endorsing a judges' manual whose climate chapter was so slanted that it got pulled is a far clearer thumb on the scale than owning shares in companies that aren't even parties. Two codes of conduct on one bench is no code at all.
