加利福尼亚区法案 允许灾民起诉化石燃料公司 要求赔偿损失 California blocks bill allowing disaster victims to sue fossil fuel companies for damages.

加利福尼亚州立法者阻止一项法案, 该法案本可以让火灾和洪水等自然灾害的受害者 起诉石油和天然气公司 损失超过1万美元。 California lawmakers have blocked a bill that would have allowed victims of natural disasters like fires and floods to sue oil and gas companies for damages over $10,000. 批评者警告说,该法案可能提高天然气价格,使公司难以证明对特定灾害的责任。 Critics warned the bill could raise gas prices and make it hard to prove company responsibility for specific disasters. 该法案的支持者,包括州参议员斯科特·维纳(Scott Wiener)认为,有必要追究化石燃料公司对气候变化影响的责任。 The bill's supporters, including State Senator Scott Wiener, argued it was necessary to hold fossil fuel companies accountable for climate change impacts.
