Summary
The Stop Climate Shakedowns Act would bar federal courts and state laws from allowing climate‑change lawsuits against anyone who mines, produces, transports, markets or sells oil, gas, coal or related products. It aims to protect those businesses from damages, injunctions or other court orders tied to alleged climate impacts, arguing that such suits overstep federal authority and are unfair. Supporters say the measure will keep energy affordable and protect national security.
