Colorado ranchers join fight against fossil fuel companies

Boulder city and county officials in Colorado are suing Suncor Energy and Exxon Mobil for damages tied to wildfires, infrastructure repair, and watershed restoration they attribute to climate change, without seeking to regulate emissions directly. Some Colorado counties have filed briefs supporting the oil companies instead, using taxpayer money to do so.

Rancher Deirdre Macnab, upon learning her own county backed the companies, rallied fellow ranchers including Kathleen Sullivan Kelley to support Boulder's suit, describing firsthand effects of climate change on their land. The episode also touched on TPS deaths, tribal data centers, and Pennsylvania e-scooters as separate news items.
