A vast majority of Americans believe that climate change is real and should be addressed. Pew Research Center found that younger Americans, particularly Millennials and young adults, are highly engaged around the issue of climate change. American’s heightened awareness to the impacts of climate change underscores questions about the most sensible approaches to address its effects. In the legal context, these issues have prompted an important and timely debate: are there avenues for states and municipalities to seek remuneration for climate-related damages to infrastructure? Is the courthouse or the statehouse the more appropriate arbiter to address these questions?
