That is why I’ve joined campaigns like Make Rich Polluters Pay. Some key takeaways include:• 81% of people support taxing fossil fuel companies – oil, gas, and coal – to pay for climate damages. • And critically, 77% of people say they would be more likely to vote for political candidates who prioritize taxing polluters and the super-rich. For me, and for millions already living in the heart of this crisis, the call is clear: it is past time to make polluters pay.
