A poll commissioned by Greenpeace and Oxfam, published Thursday, June 19, shows overwhelming support for climate taxation targeted at oil and gas companies to cover the cost of repairing the damage caused by climate change, for which they are primarily responsible.

According to Oxfam, a tax on the profits of wealthy polluters applied to 590 oil, gas, and coal companies could generate up to $400 billion in the first year.
