In response, New Zealand has proposed a bill to limit the ability of individuals to sue high greenhouse gas emitters over the impacts of climate change, relying instead on the enforcement measures taken by the government. The bill appears poised to pass. A recent proposal to limit climate change litigation has yet to gain traction in the U.S. Congress, but could find a home in state legislatures next year.

An anticipated increase in global energy demand from artificial intelligence and hyperscale data centers, that simply cannot be serviced by renewable energy alone, augurs well not just for the LNG trade but for all advocates of the natural gas market. That’s particularly significant for one producer and exporter at the heart of it all – the United States.
