Claims against emitters responsible for large-scale greenhouse gas emissions

"Climate contribution science can potentially be used to quantify the cumulative contribution of greenhouse gas emissions from each emitter. By identifying the individual emitter’s contribution and using modelling to compare and observe climate data with global climate simulations that include and exclude its influence, causation of severe weather events may be established. This could lead to findings in favour of the insurer when stepping into the shoes of the insured to recover costs for property damage caused by climate related fire weather events resulting from greenhouse gas emissions of major emitters."
