Calls grow to make oil industry pay for climate change

Original: The oil industry should pay for climate change — and Congress should decide how

A new opinion argument in The Hill contends that the oil industry should bear the cost of climate change, and that Congress, not regulators or the courts alone, should decide how those costs are assessed and spent. The piece adds to ongoing debate over making fossil fuel producers financially liable for climate damages through legislation rather than litigation.

Why now: Climate cost-allocation and polluter-pays proposals are a live political debate in Washington right now.
