Polluters should pay for climate change costs, argue commentators
Original: Counterpoint: Those causing climate change should help cover its costs
A Minnesota commentary argues that those most responsible for causing climate change should help cover its mounting costs, from extreme-weather damage to adaptation measures. The piece adds to a long-running debate over 'polluter pays' principles, with advocates pushing for fossil fuel companies and major emitters to contribute to climate funds while critics worry about feasibility and liability.
Why now: Debates over making major emitters pay for climate damages are intensifying as extreme weather costs rise and loss-and-damage funding stays in the news.
