In the end, the promise of attribution science is that it helps us see a storm or a heat wave or a flood not as an act of a god or the whim of Mother Nature, but as a disaster that has been knowingly shaped or intensified by particular human actions.

- Urgently clean up contaminated soil and drinking water
- Make polluters pay for it, not taxpayers

A PFAS-free Europe is possible. Now is the moment to make it happen.

"Burning 65 billion barrels of Venezuelan oil would add ~28 billion metric tons of CO₂ to the atmosphere, and would raise the global average temperature by roughly 0.008°C to 0.018°C."

It's wonderful that folk are volunteering to clean up their coasts after this incident

But why is it their responsibility? Why is the polluter not paying for it?
URGENT: the river Tyne is facing a plastic pollution disaster.

On 19 July, a cargo ship collision caused over a billion plastic pellets to spill to the port of river Tyne - polluting the river system, coastal sites and the sea.

This is such a bullshit argument: www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026... 'Istanbul pollites more than us, therefore we must expand'. Bullshit. Just tax airline fuel at the same rate as fuel for fossil fuel cars. Problem solved overnight, with no new runway, and no expansion needed. #PolluterPays
Heathrow says need for expansion ‘clear’ as it loses title of Europe’s busiest airport
West London airport reports 7.86 million passengers in July, compared with 8.15 million for Istanbul

This. Industries making these pollutants are not responsible for removing them, so the job falls to others. Farmers are being asked to participate in a risky experiment. #Polluterpays legislation would rebalance accountability AND save public money.

So excited for this #polluterpays lawsuit… citing the critical work of @amywestervelt on the history of #climatedisinformation. If nothing else, it will reveal just how impartial the Roberts court really is when it comes to Big Oil.

Research by @tcrgbath.bsky.social and @sheffielduni.bsky.social investigates the potential #PublicHealth benefits of a #PolluterPays levy scheme.

This modelling suggests that implementing a scheme would cut smoking deaths, reduce hospital admission, and raise tax revenue.

As Europe burns, Shell has banked £7.4 billion in just three months.

It's time to make the biggest polluters pay.

As Big Oil profits near $147B while extreme heat & fires rage, "polluter pays" mechanisms, from Superfund laws to UN tax frameworks, are moving into mainstream policy to fund climate recovery.

Before NZ Govt abandons NZers to impacts of #ClimateCrisis + #ExtremeWeatherEvents it should reclaim #CorporateWelfare including $Ms in subsidies paid to foreign corporations like Rio Tinto.
