A federal judge has dismissed a climate lawsuit brought by 37 Puerto Rican municipalities against the fossil fuel industry.

Judge Silvia Carreño Coll said the lawsuit's racketeering and antitrust claims were "barred by the applicable statute of limitations" while dismissing all the claims against Chevron, Shell, BP, and other fossil fuel defendants, according to a 125-page omnibus opinion and order filed on Sept. 11.
