EU wants fossil fuel sector to help pay to combat climate change, draft shows

Their assets should be seized, it's past the time where they can just "help".

They lied and deceived for 30+ years to make money. I hope they will have to pay.

We could just lower the number of ETS certificates and send the extra money raised to help poorer countries out a lot. This sounds more like not wanting to pay, rather then a good solution. The EU has emitted 16.7% of cumulative CO2 emissions with 5.6% of the global population. So sending some money to poorer countries who have emitted far less is just being fair.
