        We're in agreement on cutting the subsidies but we need not shift the buying burden to the citizens. If the governments don't want the fossil fuels, let the provide better and alternative fuels

          The amount of subsidies that fossil fuels receive means that it will take the world a longer time to do away with them. Meanwhile the climate continues to deteriorate permanently.
