Democrats seek to tax fossil fuel companies over climate change ...Middle East

A large group of Democrats is looking to force the fossil fuel industry to pay for climate change.  Lawmakers unveiled a bill Thursday that would allow the Treasury Department to impose fees on major fossil fuel companies that are owned or operated in the U.S.  The legislation seeks to establish a $1 trillion fund that companies would have to pay into based on their share of planet-warming emissions. The money would go toward infrastructure upgrades, cleaning up pollution and providing assistance after climate-related disasters.  “After fueling the climate crisis for decades, big polluters can no longer run from their responsibility to address the harm they have done,” said Sen.
