While there is no single silver bullet solution that will address the majority of
global greenhouse gas
emissions, eliminating
fossil fuel subsidies is an obvious way to harvest low - hanging fruit, and, despite the odd framing, this study's
findings seem to confirm that eliminating
fossil fuel subsidies has the potential to make a major contribution to
global climate action.
When the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports came out earlier in the year, the scientists
found that it would take at least 20 or 30 years for the climate to measurably «notice» the difference between freezing greenhouse
emissions now, or having a
global fossil fuel party — with everyone jumping in Hummers and jacking up thermostats.

The
fossil fuel extraction industries, faced with the knowledge that the very product they sell is the main culprit behind the destabilization of our
global climate system, have a moral obligation to
find ways to drastically reduce carbon
emissions to Earth's atmosphere so as not to leave behind a climate system inhospitable to human life.
