Calls grow to make oil industry pay for climate change
Original: The oil industry should pay for climate change — and Congress should decide how
An opinion argument is being pushed in Washington that the oil industry should bear the cost of climate change damages, with Congress — not the courts or states — deciding how such payments would be raised and distributed. The proposal frames a federal legislative mechanism, such as fees or liability rules, as the appropriate route. It adds to ongoing US political debate over polluter liability and climate funding.
Why now: Climate liability legislation is an active topic in US politics as lawmakers debate who should fund climate costs.
