Seize the assets of companies that funded climate change denial science

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The cost of dealing with climate change will fall on the general population, as it did with the banks. The profits from companies that benefited by funding climate denial ‘science’ should have their assets seized and used for reparations to natural habitats/funding clean energy initiatives.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because it's not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament to seize the assets of organisations or individuals who have not been convicted of a criminal offence.
