Polluters Pay Climate Fund Act — assesses fossil-fuel majors based on share of historical emissions; sponsors describe the design as Superfund-style (CERCLA-inspired) industry-borne financing. Cosponsorship signals support for industry-borne (rather than taxpayer-borne) financing of climate damages.
