We talk to Dean Muller, President of Wisconsin for Environmental Justice. We discuss the pressing need for climate accountability. With natural disasters increasingly straining city budgets, Mulder advocates for shifting financial responsibility from taxpayers to the fossil fuel industry, which he holds accountable for climate change-induced events. Highlighting the success of past litigations like tobacco and opioids, Wisconsin plans to spearhead tort claims against fossil giants in state courts, demanding they pay their fair share. Mulder emphasizes the importance of local government action and public support to push for these changes, aiming for a proactive rather than reactive approach.
