FEATURING BLAIR HORNER - New York Governor Kathy Hochul in December 2024 signed a bill into law fining fossil fuel corporations $75 billion to pay into a superfund the state can use to pay for climate-related damage. New York becomes the second state in the nation after Vermont to pass such a bill.
As rivers across Kentucky and the Ohio Valley have flooded this month, killing 14 people, it seems as though every other week there is news of extreme weather change, often deadly, and directly linked to climate change. Last month multiple deadly fires broke out across Southern California, destroying thousands of homes and killing 24.
Could New York and Vermont’s plan to fine fossil fuel companies work to curb the untenable costs of climate catastrophe?
