New York to appeal rulings striking down Climate Change Superfund Act
Original: NY to appeal rulings striking down Climate Change Superfund Act
New York will appeal court rulings that struck down its Climate Change Superfund Act, a law requiring large fossil fuel companies to pay into a fund covering climate adaptation costs in the state. The decision to pursue an appeal keeps alive one of the most aggressive state-level efforts to make polluters pay for climate damage, a policy closely watched by other states considering similar measures.
Why now: The outcome could determine whether other states can follow New York's lead in charging fossil fuel companies for climate costs.
