Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito stepped aside from participating in a major climate change-related case after previously pushing back against calls for his recusal. Alito sat out the case following criticism from progressive lawmakers and advocacy groups due to his investments in oil companies. Although a court spokeswoman initially maintained that there was no financial conflict requiring him to step down, the court announced a reversal, confirming that he would not participate in the high-profile litigation involving energy companies and climate accountability claims.
