But shouldn't the fossil fuel companies also get paid for whatever benefits there are as a result of the global warming they supposedly caused?
Everybody in Vermont could pay the fossil fuel companies for each day that is warmer and they don't need as much energy to heat their houses, and any increase in farm production, because warmer days yield more hay and that means more milk from the dairy farms.
Same for the maple syrup industry, and the state of Vermont could pay the fossil fuel companies what would have been their savings on winter plowing and salting.
And as more people move to a warmer Vermont, the people who sell property should share their gains with the fossil fuel companies who improved the climate.

Whatever happened to “act of God”? That’s what insurance companies claim when a tree falls on your house, or lightning sets it on fire. Those are all weather-related damage.

"They are begging the gas stations to move out of Vermont and their residents fill up out of state."
Maybe, for self protections, neighboring gas stations should refuse to sell gas to cars and trucks with Vermont license plates
