The Spin

Left narrative

This is a great victory for the environmentally-conscious plaintiffs in this case and the dozens across the US who are suing to hold the fossil fuel industry accountable for its deception and destruction. The lengths the companies are going to try to keep this case out of the courts just adds to its legitimacy and the urgency with which the courts should handle it.

Right narrative

This was a disappointing decision by SCOTUS, but this case still seems destined to fail. Beyond the preposterous claims of the case, it also threatens two pillars of the US government — federalism and the separation of powers — because states can't regulate activity outside of their borders and Congress is responsible for regulating interstate commerce.
