Vermont passes bill to charge fossil fuel companies for damage from climate change
www.nbcnews.com
The legislation — the first of its kind in the U.S. — would require companies with high emissions to help pay for destruction caused by climate-fueled extreme weather.

I’ll note that it hasn’t yet been signed by the Republican governor, but it passed the legislature with a margin large enough to override his veto.

    This is the actual important part, otherwise we’ll just be playing whackamole as the fatcats keep rotating in new smokescreens.
