(Washington Free Beacon)—The Department of Justice is asking the Maryland supreme court to dismiss three local lawsuits, which accuse the nation’s largest oil companies of selling products that they know cause global warming. It represents the first time the Trump DOJ has weighed in on such active litigation, which has become more common in recent years and seeks to extract crippling damages from oil companies.
In a brief filed this week, officials in the DOJ’s environment division said the issues covered in the cases—like air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and climate change—are national and international matters. Using state law to regulate those issues, therefore, “would override policy choices made by the federal government and Maryland’s sister states,” the brief added.
“Each state is alone responsible for controlling air pollution within its borders—subject to EPA oversight—and [federal law] contemplates no role for states reaching out and applying their law in other states,” it stated.
The filing sends a clear message that the Trump administration is prepared to fight the lawsuits and assert its authority over such issues. It marks the first time that the administration has weighed in on active climate litigation. The DOJ sued Michigan and Hawaii in May to prevent the states from pursuing similar litigation mirroring the three cases in Maryland, but those two states had not yet filed lawsuits against oil companies.
The Maryland cases—which prosecutors filed in Baltimore, Annapolis, and Anne Arundel County between 2018 and 2021—are part of a coordinated effort from dozens of Democratic-led cities and states, which have filed identical lawsuits against many of the same companies. If the pending lawsuits are all successful, oil companies would collectively be forced to pay in excess of $1 trillion in damages.
