We don’t let our kids get away with lack of responsibility, so why are we letting Big Oil?  Make them pay to fix their mistakes!

If a child intentionally destroys his brother’s smart phone, wouldn’t a good parent make the child replace the phone? Natural and logical consequences. Period. So why not make the world’s carbon polluters responsible for repairing the damage they have intentionally caused?
