Very important development in climate law: New York adopts statute holding fossil fuel companies financially responsible for impacts of climate change.
WE DID IT!!! New York just made history, becoming the second state in the country to pass a Climate Change Superfund Act that will #MakePollutersPay for climate damages!
This kicks open the door for more states to follow. Let’s go!

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: bit.ly/402eODH

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: bit.ly/3VoaQmy
BREAKING: Vermont's Climate Superfund Act officially becomes law, w/ Gov. Scott declining to sign or veto the bill. This makes VT the first state to hold #BigOil liable for climate damages - a historic leap in #ClimateAccountability
What a day for accountability!

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

💸 📈 BOEM estimates that its new rule will provide $6.9 billion in new industry financial assurances to protect American taxpayers from decommissioning costs.
Martin Lockman retweeted
🪧🫰 .@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.

💭 @MartinLockman comments: "Under the previous status quo, firms were allowed to skate by on their industry reputations alone, taxpayers risked being left on the hook for billions of dollars of environmental clean-up costs when reckless oil and gas companies went bankrupt."

🔊📜On April 10, @BOEM announced its new rule that will require many offshore oil & gas companies to report on their end-of-life environmental clean-up and “decommissioning” costs. Read the rule ⤵️ buff.ly/3xGhDym
