I'm delighted to announce that @NwULRev has just published my latest essay, "Climate Entrenchment in Unstable Legal Regimes." It addresses an urgent question: how can we build necessary climate infrastructure in the face of unstable
legal regimes? https://t.co/ZXpOlOp3y4

New York becomes the second state to pass a “Climate Superfund” law, designed to hold superemitters responsible for the costs of their GHG emissions!

[Jon Campbell @JonCampbellNY]

New: Gov. Kathy Hochul has signed the NY climate superfund bill, which will require fossil fuel companies to put up $75B.

Here’s the approval message. Sounds like there will be some yet-to-be-seen tweaks, but basic premise of the bill remains intact.

[Michael Gerrard @MichaelGerrard]

Very important development in climate law: New York adopts statute holding fossil fuel companies financially responsible for impacts of climate change.

[Mike Burger @ProfBurger]

In a major decision MT Supreme Ct affirms fact and law findings in Held v. Montana: Climate change is real, emissions attributable to MT are a cause, state law that bans GHG analysis in setting energy policy violates plaintiffs' environmental rights. See: https://t.co/6e03AtUn3g

For no reason in particular, resharing my article about building climate infrastructure in politically unstable times.

Enactment of Vermont's Climate Superfund Act is unprecedented in the world of climate law. However, it will surely be challenged in court. Sabin Center analysis from March of this and other similar then-pending bills, and some legal issues they'll face: https://t.co/bsFiHG25R2

@BOEM @MartinLockman ❎While this new rule is a strong step in the right direction, BOEM rejected our call to take #climaterisk seriously.

[Sabin Center @SabinCenter]

@BOEM @MartinLockman 💸 ���� BOEM estimates that its new rule will provide $6.9 billion in new industry financial assurances to protect American taxpayers from decommissioning costs.

[Sabin Center @SabinCenter]

@BOEM @MartinLockman 🪧🫰 .@BOEM’s new rule is designed to ensure that oil & gas companies pay for the costs of cleaning up the environmental damage caused by offshore drilling, and to protect the public against the costs of fossil fuel bankruptcies.
