As the world warms, more and more of New England’s rain is falling in extreme precipitation “events.” Now Vermont lawmakers are proposing a “superfund” to pay for protective infrastructures by imposing fees on fossil-fuel producers. https://t.co/qnfFazTHoo

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

For decades, fossil fuel corporations knowingly destroyed our planet for short-term profits.

I am proud that Vermont will go further than any other state in forcing the fossil fuel industry to pay for the destruction caused by the crisis of climate change.https://t.co/ckPSeC9to2

[Dana Drugmand @Dana_Drugmand]

A legislative effort is underway in VT & several other states that, if successful, would require large fossil fuel companies to help pick up the tab for climate adaptation & resiliency measures

It's called a "climate superfund" bill... (short 🧵)

Big Oil companies like Exxon knew they were causing climate change decades ago, but they covered it up, got rich, and left us paying to clean up their mess. If you think this is unfair, join the campaign to #MakeBigOilPay at https://t.co/zHDbZwE8rP
