- Justice Samuel Alito decided Monday to recuse himself from one of the most consequential climate change cases to reach the Supreme Court
- Alito had resisted calls to step aside for months before reversing course
- Legal experts expect continuing ramifications tied to Alito's ownership of individual corporate stocks
- Alito's stock holdings include positions in the fossil fuel industry, the sector at the center of the climate litigation
Why it matters: The recusal removes Alito from one climate case but does nothing to force divestment, leaving the door open for the same fossil-fuel-stock conflict to resurface in any future energy or environmental dispute before the Court.
