> This is a money grab pure and simple.

This reads like a sick joke. It's like the BigOil telling California "It's unfair to demand compensation from us, because you didn't prepare for a catastrophe that we caused knowingly". California and several regions across planet wouldn't have had to think about clearing the brush or anything else if the oil companies hadn't intentionally and maliciously misled people everywhere about the consequences of burning fossil fuel like this. It's strange to frame a call for compensation as money grab when that money is blood money - how many lives were lost due to climate change? I'm disconcerted by efforts to help big companies skirt their responsibility in causing extreme and irreversible harm to the environment and economy.
