We Reap What We Subsidize on Climate

Last year, direct public subsidies that promote fossil fuel production and consumption jumped to $1.4 trillion in the G-20 countries alone. That’s a four-fold increase from the average over the past decade. Is it any wonder, ask WCS's Monica Medina and Daniel Zarin in the Daily News, that the oil majors are backing away from their prior commitments to accelerate the phase-out of fossil fuels in response to the climate crises?

If you're in the U.S., help move it forward by urging your senators to support it right away.
